How often do you do performance evaluations? Where I work we do performance appraisals once a year, and it really feels like that isn't often enough. I'm curious what others do.

I think official ones are once a year for comp changes. Good managers should be doing a weekly one on one which includes more frequent feedback. This is a good opportunity to take a step back from the day to day and reflect. It's like a retrospective, but for 2 people. I also think real time feedback is also the best feedback. Anytime someone does something exceptional or something that really needs to be improved, let them know immediately.
