War for talent | Could reintroducing staff performance reviews aid retention?

Remember those pre-pandemic days of employer and employee sitting across the desk from one another for their personal development review or appraisal?

While performance reviews have often been seen as a tick box exercise by some, now is the time to put appraisals firmly back on the agenda and step up efforts to recruit and retain staff.

The call comes from Peterborough-based Anne Corder Recruitment in light of recent figures which suggest that nearly half (47%) of UK employees don’t see a clear path to progression.

A survey by IRIS Software Group also revealed that nearly three-quarters of UK workers (68%) said that they are facing delayed career growth due to a lack of support.
