Can you imagine if you were in school and you turned in a big term paper and you got it back with no grade or comments? How would you feel? Kind of deflated, right? Well, that's what happens with an awful lot of employees. They never hear that they did anything good or bad because we've gotten rid of employee reviews. Most employees, especially millennials, want to know how they're doing. It isn't just about money. My tip for you today is do an employee review one-on-one today. Not really just a conversation, but it's making sure that you point out both the good and the bad. It doesn't have to end up in a raise, but people just want to know, "What can I do better?" And you know what? The ones who like that kind of engagement are the ones that you can build your business on, so why not give them the tools that they want.
