Mitarbeitergespräch

English translation: performance review/appraisal/evaluation meeting

German term or phrase: Mitarbeitergespräch
Welche Leistungen mit einer Leistungsprämie hervorgehoben werden sollen, liegt im Entscheidungsspielraum und damit in der Verantwortung des Vorgesetzten. Hilfestellung für die Entscheidung geben ihm dabei die Aufgabenvereinbarung aus dem ersten Teil des Mitarbeitergesprächs und die Qualität der Aufgabenerfüllung. Größtmögliche Transparenz für die Vergabekriterien ist erforderlich, um bei den Mitarbeitern den gewünschten Motivationseffekt zu erzeugen.

The more I re-read your text, the more I\'m convinced that this is it. The terms Leistungsprämie, Verantwortung, and Aufgabenerfüllung all point to it.

Actually, I can also read it to refer to what we call a \"performance planning meeting\" - the greater context should make clear if they are talking about a meeting where they are planning the employees expected performance and allocating tasks/responsibilities/accountabilities, or if they are reviewing the performance. Some companies even do both during the same meeting.

Again, I\'m going on my experience as a performance management consultant.

staff dialogue


Explanation:
This is the translation offered by the below dictionary (and confirmed by 300- Google hits), "discussions with staff members" would also work.

agree  Joanne Parker: It also involves feedback from the employee to the boss, in my experience. In which case, perhaps "review" would be another option. I think that appraisal is the best.

discussion with employees


Explanation:
Sounds better than "co-worker discussion" which comes up on Google.
Employees of all levels are involved in decision making.
