Improve your company's performance appraisal process by reviewing employees earlier and more often.

1. EMPLOYEE REVIEW

2. How to give a performance review of an employee
1 Prepare
- Document exemplary and poor performance
throughout the year to keep track and be
automatically prepared when review time
comes using process improvement forms and
documentation such as the “Instant
Performance Documentation Form

3. 2 Do not "pass the buck"
- If employee performance information was
obtained from a third-party, verify its accuracy
before taking action. Also, careful consideration
should be given to revealing the source as it
may lead to more conflict in the workplace, loss
of employee's trust, or animosity among co-
workers.

4. 3 Keep it professional
- Stick with issues related to the employee’s
performance and conduct in the workplace.
What to say: "We’re here today to review the
successes and lessons from last year and to
make plans for next year." What not to say:
"How are the kids?"

5. 4 Balance positive and negative
- Document exemplary and poor performance
throughout the year to keep track and be
automatically prepared when review time
comes using process improvement forms and
documentation such as the “Instant
Performance Documentation Form

6. 5 Show respect
- Don’t raise your voice, make personal attacks,
use sarcasm or belittle. Speak with respect.
What to say: "I understand you’ve given this
your best effort, and you need to know that it’s
still not up to standard." What not to say: "If
this is what you do when you try, I’d hate to see
what would happen if you didn’t."

7. Review your best and your worst
-Document exemplary and poor performance
throughout the year to keep track and be
automatically prepared when review time
comes using process improvement forms and
documentation such as the “Instant Performance
Documentation Form

8. Be a coach
- Don't just tell the employees what they've done
wrong. Give some tips that could help improve
their workplace. Some employees have
unintentionally developed poor work habits.
