Employee Review Writer

Employee Review Writer

Most entrepreneurs who develop their companies will have to hire and manage one or more employees. A large aspect of retaining and motivating employees is to conduct regular employee performance appraisals. To assist you in creating an effective appraisal we have listed some Employee Review Writer tools.

Part 1 of the Employee Review Writer – Basic Information
Ensure that the cover of the performance appraisal has basic information such as employee name, position, date of review, type of review (e.g. 1 year, 6 months, etc). Also include the manager who is conducting the appraisal and any other relevant information. The last page should have a section for both the employee and the manager to sign off as proof of administration.

Part 2 of the Employee Review Writer – Defining Performance Rating Scale
You will need to determine the scale that will be used to rate each performance area. Will you use a number scale such as 1 to 5 with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? Will you use a verbal description of each scale stage such as “exceeds expectations”, “meets expectations” or “does not meet expectations”? Consider what you are trying to rate and ensure there is a description to each scale stage for easy understanding.

Part 3 of the Employee Review Writer – Defining Evaluation Factors
Decide what performance evaluation factors are the most important to your company and define them appropriately. Some areas you may consider incorporating are productivity, job knowledge, initiative, team work, attendance and punctuality, health and safety, customer service and more. Ensure that it is relevant to the position. Once you have determined the areas that are being assessed, create a grid with each area and description on the left and on the right list the performance rating scale so that you can assign a corresponding assessment to each factor.

Part 4 of the Employee Review Writer – Setting Goals and Objectives
A very important part of appraisals is including future goals that the employee could work towards during the year to develop and grow. These goals should be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely). Every goal should have a set of action plans with due dates for completion.

Part 5 of the Employee Review Writer – Manager and Employee Comments
The final section before signatures should be an open forum for the manager and employee to state their final thoughts about the assessment. Managers can give comments about overall performance and a personal message to the employee that is motivating and uplifting. In the same vein, the employee should be given the opportunity to comment on the evaluation that was assigned to him or her and their thoughts on the process.

Creating an effective Employee Review Writer can be a simple process using the above set template. Ensure that it is relevant, specific and effective to create a motivating environment for your employees.
