Performance evaluations provide supervisors and employees with an opportunity to review goals (expectations), discuss performance, and support success at work. It is a continuous process that helps recognize excellent work, address areas for improvement, and strengthen communication. Trakstar is used throughout the process to set goals (expectations), share feedback, and document performance.<\/p>\n
