PRESS NEW YORK Small business owners with some down time this summer might be thinking about compiling annual performance evaluations for their employees. Good idea but don't make the mistake of thinking that feedback and evaluations are an annual event only. "Almost as bad as not doing it is doing it only once a year and e f having it be just a exercise where you sit in judgment of the employee and the employee gets defensive," said Leigh Branham, owner of Keeping The People Inc., an Overland Park, Kaa, human resources consulting firm. "It should be a constant, ongoing thing," Branham said of feedback. He said one of the major reasons why employees leave a job is because they don't get the feedback thev want and need, and "feedback is one of the top five things that make a job ; satisfying."
