A recent study showed that less than half (45 percent) of workers felt their annual reviews were a fair representation of their work performance. Only 37 percent said their managers provided accurate feedback.

When you’re seeking the full picture of your performance, don’t just look up the organizational chart – but also look right, left, and occasionally, down. Co-workers can be great resources, but you will most likely need to solicit their opinions on your own. In the same study, 53 percent of respondents said their manager was the only one who evaluated their performance, and just 21 percent said their reviews included input from peers.

How to Ask for Peer Feedback

Peer feedback can be invaluable as you learn and grow in your job. Be proactive as you seek input. The more often you ask, the less stressful it becomes. And the process will make you happier and more productive.
