PERFORMANCE REVIEW GUIDELINES
The performance review process consists of several parts:

• Performance feedback: How well the employee has done in their role.
• Goal results for the past quarter: How well the employee met goals and skill building plans from the prior review.
• Goals and skills-building plan: What the employee should seek to achieve over the next quarter or year.
• Manager help: Areas where the manager should assist the employee.
• Recognition: What both the manager and employee felt was most important about the work performed.
• Summary: Overall rating, what’s working well and what else should be noted.
• Employee feedback: Thoughts, ideas or issues of concern from the employee.

Many of these parts require a scoring system. Where applicable, employees should be evaluated for performance and goal success using a colored scale.
