Performance Reviews – The Basics

Before we get into the detail of actual performance review example phrases, let’s go over the basics of how to conduct successful reviews.

Be Positive And Honest

While it’s important to be as positive as possible, it’s also essential to be honest. If an employee is not performing in a particular aspect of their job then you must tell them so; however, be constructive and identify specific ways that they can turn things around. And make sure that you have a good balance of positives and negatives.

Two-way Communication

The performance review is the perfect opportunity for you to hear about each employee’s views on how things are going at a grassroots level. From the employee engagement perspective, it’s important that employees feel as though they are being listened to and their views matter. This is one way to demonstrate that and you may even discover a fresh insight or valuable new idea in the process.

Set Specific Achievable Goals

If you want to motivate your employees and give them something to aim towards, then you need to set specific goals that are realistic and achievable. Vague or unachievable goals will be counterproductive. In addition, make it clear how you as the manager and the organization as a whole can support the employee to achieve their personal development and career goals. It’s one important way to show that you are invested in their success as this is another key driver of employee engagement. You could, for example, use your employee intranet to track and achieve goals like this.

100 Performance Review Example Phrases

The examples listed here are designed to spark some ideas and get you thinking about how to approach performance reviews for your team members. The phrases are organized by the different skills, attributes and aspects of performance that are commonly covered in reviews. As we’ve seen, there will be employees that are meeting or exceeding expectations and some that are not. For each area, therefore, we have included positive statements as well as negative ones.

It’s important to remember, however, that these example phrases need to backed up with hard evidence and specific work examples if they are to be meaningful.
