Benchmarks + Evaluations
Practice Group Benchmarks
Practice group benchmarks provide associates and partners with clear expectations and developmental guidelines for performance at every level. Associates can turn feedback into action by seeking training or practical opportunities to enhance their skills, and partners can provide specific and actionable feedback, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development.
Annual Performance Evaluations
Feedback is a crucial tool for attracting, developing, and retaining top talent. Evaluations help individuals understand the firm’s expectations, explore areas for improvement, and provide a detailed roadmap for growth and development. Regular, specific feedback fosters continuous learning and development, helps individuals feel engaged and valued, directs their focus on critical growth areas, and enhances performance and job satisfaction.
