appraisals and reviews
There are many ways in which organisations appraise or review a worker. The structure of the appraisal or review meeting or interview can vary greatly. Some use forms with grades or scales attached, others are less structured and are more of a narrative on the employee's general performance.
Whatever the format, as an employee you should:
- be as objective as possible when appraising your own performance and gather evidence to support your assessment
- keep a record of the things that went well or perhaps not so well throughout the year (or review period)
- personally review progress towards your objectives throughout the review period
- complete any standard review documentation as fully as possible and ensure the reviewer receives this in good time for them to prepare for the meeting
- know what points you want to discuss and what questions you want to ask
- remember that the ultimate goal of the meeting is to reach a mutual arrangement about past successes, failures and learning points and agree mutually satisfying objectives for the year ahead.
