Performance reviews can be scary, especially if you’ve got bad news to deliver or you’re not sure what to say. So we gathered advice from experts on the exact performance review phrases and questions that will get the job done. These 40+ performance review examples will help you deal with the 5 most common scenarios that managers face:
- You want to build rapport during the performance review, so it’s a less stressful experience for everybody.
- You have negative feedback to deliver (gulp). Your employee needs to understand what’s going wrong and how to improve their performance.
- Your employee is doing a great job, and you want them to feel appreciated. You also want to encourage more of the same behavior.
- You want honest feedback on how you’re doing as a manager from the people who would know best: your direct reports.
- You have to evaluate a new team, and you want to give them useful feedback.
If you’re an employee who wants to take charge of your performance review, check out our post on how to write a self evaluation that will impress your boss.
There is one caveat…
While these performance review examples are powerful, they won’t be effective unless you also have a healthy work environment where it’s safe to give or receive feedback. We think the best way to build that environment is through regular one-on-one meetings.
