A free performance review template that keeps the conversation fair and simple. The employee fills in a self-review first. The manager scores seven areas on a five-point scale, with an example for each, and writes the strengths to keep using and the areas to develop.
Together you agree three to five goals with how each will be measured, a short development plan and comments, then both sign. A 90-day review page for new starters is included.
The Word document has a rating scale and a how-to page. The fillable PDF has the manager review, goals and self-review in Letter and A4.
