- Comparisons: In the third step, the actual levels of goal attained are compared with the goals agreed upon. This enables the evaluator to find out the reasons for variation between actual and standard performance. Such as comparison helps devise, training needs for increasing employees performance.
- Periodic review: Finally, in the periodic review step, corrective measure is initiated when actual performance deviates from the standards established in the first step-goal-setting stage. Consistence with the MBO philosophy, periodic progress reviews are conducted in a constructive rather than punitive manner. The purpose of conducting reviews is not to degrade the performers but to aid in his/her future performance.
