About this Performance Review Package

Welcome and thank you for downloading the
Employee Performance Review Package. This
package will help you approach performance
management more successfully by providing the
forms necessary to evaluate, record and
communicate employee performance. Applying
these tools and techniques will help ensure a
smooth, successful performance review process.
Please note, while these forms are a valuable tool for managing the employee
performance review process, communication is the key to maximizing value for both
the employee and the employer. These forms should act as a platform for initializing
and maintaining a continuous, high level of communication throughout the year.

This guide does not provide you with legal advice, nor does it claim to ensure your
business complies with all relevant State/Federal legislation. If you would like
more information on implementing an enterprise performance management
system, check out my Lifecycle Performance Management Kit.

The Lifecycle Performance Management Kit includes the Lifecycle Performance
Framework and Roadmap, the 300 page step by step implementation guide, 37
performance management templates and plans, the 120 Day Performance Plan in
Microsoft Project, 600 performance metrics and KPIs, 30 illustrated step by step
performance management processes, and the Business Intelligence tools guide; all
of which complement the high level processes outlined in this eBook, click here

For a limited time only, when you get the performance management kit, you will
also receive my comprehensive and very informative Organizational Performance
and Best Practices Analysis (a $499 value). It utilizes a performance index scoring
system, feasibility analysis, impact analysis and cost savings opportunities and
provides a custom, step-by-step roadmap for your organization to implement
immediate performance improvements. It is a must have for organizations that
are serious about understanding what makes them tick.

The Pre-appraisal Checklist and Preparing for the Appraisal

1. Set a calendar date and time in advance that is mutually convenient for both you and the employee, and that
will allow enough time for each of you to do preparation. A conference room is a good choice for privacy and
no interruptions. Schedule enough time for discussion [1 to 1-1/2 hours].

2. Gather:
 the job description and performance standards
 goals set from the last appraisal
 work rules and procedures
 your documentation notes
 any feedback or letters from customers/co-workers
 current disciplinary memos
 the previous performance appraisal

3. If you have asked the employee to do a self-appraisal, be sure to obtain that early enough so you have a
chance to review it as part of your preparation. Note: then be sure to provide the employee a draft of your
appraisal, so the employee may review it ahead of time, as well.

4. Before filling out the appraisal form, take a moment to:
 list the main areas of responsibility
 what the employee has done well
 what the employee needs to improve in
 what you can do to help the employee do a better job

5. Remember to avoid:
 Halo Effect - tendency to overrate a favored employee, or an employee who had a prior good
rating
 Horns Effect - tendency to rate an employee lower than circumstances warrant
 Recency Error- letting outstanding work [or unsatisfactory work] immediately prior to the
evaluation offset an entire year of performance
 Cookie Cutter Effect - not focusing on individual specific performance and rating all your
employees, or groups of employees the same

Handling Employee Behaviors

 If the employee becomes defensive or makes excuses:
o Listen to what the employee has to say and paraphrase back. Remain neutral. Maintain
eye-contact.
o Don't solve the problem.
o Ask for specifics with open-ended questions.
o Try to determine the cause:
"Tell me more." "How did you reach that conclusion?"
Ask how the employee will resolve the problem.

 If the employee becomes angry:
o Stay calm and centered. Maintain eye-contact.
o Listen to what the employee has to say and paraphrase back.
o Let the employee "run down" for as long as s/he needs until the employee can listen to you.
o Avoid arguments.
o Bring discussion and focus back to performance and standards.
o Say the employee's name, and ask open-ended questions.

 If the employee is unresponsive or withdraws:
o Be patient and friendly.
o Show concern.
o Stay silent, and wait for the employee to say something.
o Ask open-ended questions.
o Note that the employee is unresponsive.
o Encourage the employee that you want to hear his or her input, and this input is important to you.

Closing and Follow-up

1. After the appraisal discussion, complete the written appraisal.
2. Both the supervisor and the employee should sign the appraisal. Signing the appraisal does not mean the
employee agrees with the appraisal; it means that the appraisal has been shared with the employee. The
employee can provide a written response, which is optional.
3. Provide the employee with a copy, and the original should go in the employee's personnel file.
4. You and the employee should exchange ongoing feedback about performance goals and standards
throughout the year.

B8 Discuss and agree (as far as is possible, given budgetary, availability and authorization
considerations) the training and development support to be given to help the appraisee meet the

those seeking promotion. Also, training isn’t restricted to sending someone on an external course – it
includes internal courses, coaching, mentoring (mentoring someone else as well as being mentored) ,
filling in for another role (e.g. deputizing for someone while they are away on holiday), shadowing,
distance-learning, reading books, watching videos, attending meetings and workshops, workbooks,
manuals and guides, researching, giving presentations; anything relevant and helpful that will help the
person develop towards the standard and agreed task. Avoid committing to training expenditure before
suitable approval, permission or availability has been confirmed – if necessary discuss likely training
requirements with the relevant authority before the appraisal.
