When does the annual appraisal period take place, and what should employees do during this time?
-The annual appraisal period runs from March to May. During this time, employees should showcase their wins, gather feedback, and track their achievements. Freshers should start building a record of their work, while experienced employees should demonstrate their contributions with measurable results to be considered for promotions or salary hikes.
Why is January to February considered the best time for job switching?
-January to February is ideal for job switching because companies typically start hiring aggressively after the New Year and post-bonus period. New budgets are allocated, and recruiters are keen to fill roles quickly. This gives candidates a better chance to negotiate higher salaries and secure leadership roles.
What happens during the Q1 budget planning period, and how can employees make the most of it?
-Q1 budget planning takes place from January to March and sets the tone for the year. Managers allocate resources and goals for teams. Employees should be vocal, volunteer for projects, pitch ideas tied to business goals, and ask for visibility to ensure their needs are considered during the resource allocation.
What is the midyear review period, and why is it significant?
-The midyear review period occurs from June to July and serves as a checkpoint for employees. It allows managers to assess performance, adjust goals, and recalibrate strategies.

How does the team reshuffle period from June to August affect employees?

What should employees do during the bonus season (December to February)?

What is the best vacation period for employees, and why?
