Writing a performance review that gets read

A performance review records how an employee did over a period and what comes next. It gives the employee and their manager a shared view of results and development.

Cover goals and results, examples of the work, a self-assessment, manager feedback, development areas, and goals for the next period.

Use specific examples from the whole period, so the review is not shaped by the last few weeks.

Compare 360 Degree Feedback Form, Calibration Meeting Deck, and Employee Performance Review, all 7 to 11 pages long, then pick the closest match and replace the sample text with your own.
