Conduct monthly performance reviews

People do their best work when they get regular, honest feedback. Monthly performance reviews keep your team aligned, growing, and accountable — and catch small issues before they become turnover.

Do this

1. Meet one-on-one with each team member monthly.
2. Review what went well, what to improve, and goals.
3. Listen as much as you talk — ask what they need.
4. Agree on a few focus areas for next month.
