Those who work for big firm or small firms who has annual or monthly employee review on how your performance and how its going or well or how bad your work productivity is and do you get positive or negative and do they end up or result in firing at the end of the review
Also why do many business conduct these review on staff

Only if done badly.
Done properly, rewards people who perform, helps people who are struggling, allows you to develop if you want to, helps the business have the pool of people it needs.
{EDIT: And I don't work in HR]
True, pity I have never worked for a company that did them right.
Done badly, they are pointless. Done well, and done with the correct attitude (of both boss and employee), they are a great management tool.
*Feedback should certainly not be restricted to just these review meetings, however - good mangers should provide regular feedback for all employees, either formally or informally, so their employees are never in the dark about what they're doing well/what they need to improve.
The problem is that particularly in the UK there is a culture of poor, lazy, unmotivated management styles, which in turn breeds dissent and a lack of respect in those being managed.
how common are these review end up on firing staff
As with anything, it is a toll that can be used wisely for benefit or poorly as a box ticking exercise.
Depends on the organisation. I've been here 15 years, and our overall department has increased from 100 to 200+ in that time. In all that time, fewer than 1 person a year has left because of poor performance, and that is a last resort.
I cannot think of anyone being point blank fired.
On the other hand, previous jobs have been more factory facing, and there were more people dismissed there.
In any case, there will be a clear procedure, and once you have been there the required length of time (?2 years), this has to be followed
why do businesses do this anyway why cant staff just come in to work and do their work and get on with it and thats it why need to review their performance on a monthly/annual basis
Employers are very strict on employees who use company resources to post constant employment-related threads on online forums.
Beware!!
"do their work" - well, sometimes they need to be told what their work is and to stop doing stuff that is no longer required and to concentrate on other tasks.
Got sacked because of a bad review.
Er, you think the OP has a job?
Indeed. And sometimes you inherit staff who you don't think are up to the constantly evolving nature of the role. Appraisals are an excellent way of setting objectives and monitoring progress to enable them to either prove their worth or to have evidence that they haven't managed to reach the standard required and may be in the wrong role
Not from me he didn't. His contributions are the only thing that make the OP's tedious, incomprehensible threads worth clicking.
The second one i had was worthwhile. It was a half hour chat with one of the sisters who wrote down how well i was working and identified with me areas i could improve on. It was also an opportunity for sisters to nominate bank staff for additional courses which were only routinely offered to permanent staff.
My last one was ridiculous. I was told what time to turn up for my appraisal expecting it to be the same as before. It wasnt. Mine was with a sister i had never worked with and there were 10 other members of staff there! Each thinking it was an individual appraisal. It lasted about 5 minutes and was just basically does anyone have anything they would like to complain about? A few people bought up some issues that were swept under the carpet then we left!
It really was a case of right we need to get this done so we will just make everyone turn up, do a register then that counts as the appraisal done! Some people didnt even say anything so just turned up to get their name down as having had it done and that was it!
