How to fill in the performance review form

  1. Define the review period and gather examples of results, feedback and role expectations before the meeting.
  2. Discuss achievements and development areas using evidence rather than relying on broad ratings alone.
  3. Turn the discussion into specific goals with measures, owners, target dates and agreed support.
  4. Give the employee space to comment, record any disagreement and retain the signed review for follow-up.

Questions

Do signatures mean both people agree?

Not necessarily. They can simply confirm the conversation occurred; note any disagreement in the comments section.
