Utilize a self-evaluation form before conducting a performance review
Self-appraisal is a great tool that will strengthen and improve your workforce by creating an accuracy and an improved understanding of the demands of the organization. This form contains written review of an individual's performance. It is specifically designed to allow constructive discussion between the employee and the manager to get to know how the employee has been fairing on. The self-appraisal prepares the employee performance review study. This self-appraisal sets the pace for the performance discussions to be held between the employer and the worker.
