Happy Friday – hopefully everyone has had an enjoyable and productive week. This week at Hireology, many of our employees met with their managers for quarterly conversations. And several Hireologists took advantage of the beautiful summer weather in Chicago by scheduling these meetings offsite, either at lunch or in a local coffee shop.

While employees have more formal performance reviews once a year and tactical one-on-ones each week, quarterly conversations offer managers and their direct reports a chance to catch up on how the past quarter went and expectations for the upcoming quarter. How does your team structure your check-ins between employees and managers?
