Some employees I know behave as if they are only being evaluated once or twice a year, when there is a formal performance review time.
If you have any significant talent or potential, if you’re in any critical position, or if there is any budget question about how the size and scope of the employee base…
You’re being evaluated all the time.
Maybe not formally. Maybe not explicitly. But people will be paying attention.
Assume you’re being evaluated with every message, meeting, presentation, and project. That’s far more likely true than being evaluated only a few times a year, and your career will be better for it.
