By when should PDM's be completed and administered?

The appropriate time frame for completing and administering Performance Development Meetings (PDMs) is no later than the 5th business day of the month. This timeline allows for timely review and feedback, ensuring that any necessary adjustments can be made early in the month. By completing the PDMs within this short window, organizations can foster continuous improvement and maintain alignment with monthly performance objectives.

This early timing also enables employees to set actionable goals based on immediate feedback, which can enhance engagement and productivity throughout the month. Having these meetings early prevents any last-minute rush towards the end of the month, allowing for a structured and reflective approach to performance evaluations. Moreover, adhering to this schedule permits enough time for follow-up discussions and necessary training or resources to be provided if required in the same month.
