This employee appraisal covers the following:
Objectives
These are the employee’s objectives against which their performance is being evaluated. Such objectives should be agreed between the employee and their line manager in advance.
When measuring an employee’s performance against an objective, this employee appraisal form allows you to set out if:
-
the objective has been achieved
-
the objective is on track to being met
-
the employee is underperforming in meeting the objective
Where relevant (eg if the employee is underperforming), a reason for the progress towards the objective should be provided, taking into account any factors influencing the employee’s progress (eg technical errors).
Areas of strength
These are the areas within the employee’s role that they are particularly strong at and should be developed further. Where relevant, provide a reason for and/or example of the area of strength.
Areas of improvement
These are the areas in which the employee can improve and optimise their performance. The appraisal should set out how this can be done by, for example, providing further support and training. Where relevant, provide a reason for and an example of the area of improvement
Training and/or other development actions
This covers any relevant training the employee may need or benefit from to exceed in their role. These activities are not restricted to training courses and may include coaching, involvement in other projects, planned experience or any other suitable activity to enhance the employee’s skills, knowledge and behaviour.
