Employers are beginning to realize the vital role that feedback plays in employee development. In an effort to provide more meaningful feedback, many organizations are moving away from traditional yearly performance reviews in favor of ongoing coaching conversations.

When managers act as coaches, they provide employees with timely and specific feedback that helps them grow and develop continuously. Ongoing coaching allows employees to correct or continue behaviors on a regular basis, instead of leaving them wondering what they should have done differently to receive a five instead of a four on their yearly review.
