The document discusses performance appraisal forms and their importance in the performance review process. It explains that the forms provide the foundation for feedback and the employee's final rating. They also facilitate human resources decisions and career development planning. When filling out the forms, managers should be objective, carefu, and focus on the employee's future potential. All guidelines must be followed sincerely. Managers should prepare with details of the employee's performance standards, responsibilities, and past evaluations in order to provide unambiguous ratings and substantiate them with supporting documents. The forms are just part of the appraisal process, so the discussion should also focus on resolving work problems and barriers to success.
