Providing regular feedback on an ongoing basis (about 10 minutes every few weeks) is likely to prove most effective in assisting employees to improve their performance. This allows employees to continually adjust and improve their performance, rather than waiting for a formal performance review to provide feedback. The formal performance reviews can still be conducted annually or twice a year as a summary of the employee's overall performance. Daily feedback of 30 minutes may be excessive and overwhelming for both the employee and manager.
