Did your manager have a 1:1 conversation with you about your appraisal?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it matters: Because even the best feedback feels meaningless when it\u2019s emailed and not discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example<em>:<\/em> In one mid-sized SaaS company, 40% of employees reported they didn&#8217;t have a proper 1:1 after their appraisal. Morale dipped. But once the company made 1:1s mandatory and gave managers a guide for feedback conversations, employee trust in the process shot up by 35%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2728 <em>Pro tip:<\/em> Add a follow-up like: \u201cIf yes, how helpful was that conversation?\u201d to capture nuance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-do-you-feel-your-performance-was-evaluated-fairly-and-based-on-clear-criteria\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Do_you_feel_your_performance_was_evaluated_fairly_and_based_on_clear_criteria\"><\/span><strong>2.

Employees in the OKR teams rated fairness 4.2\/5, others only 2.8.
