Employee Performance Reviews and Appraisals

Derek Stockley is developing an online information guide which prepares employees for the performance review or performance appraisal process or interview. An annual employee review can seem intimidating.

The guide will provides tips and ideas which help employees to plan their approach and understand the process, so that they can prepare and plan their participation with confidence.

Other performance management training programs are explained at: Performance Management Training.

Alternatively, the complete overview of performance management is at: Performance Management Overview.

Outline of Performance Reviews/Appraisals Training Course

Like other training programs conducted by Derek Stockley, the online employee performance review guide will show performance appraisal samples. The guide will cover all the key features of a performance appraisal. Examples of questions and typical issues raised in an employee review will be listed.

Performance management checklists will also be a feature, as the broader human resource management issues are explained.

The main advantage of this guide is that it is specifically designed for employees, the "reviewees" - the people being reviewed. Most human resources books and information cater for the managers, team leaders and supervisors - the "reviewers". This resource is specifically designed to help the employee being reviewed. It will assist in the writing task.

The course will cover both basic and advanced topics, and will provide answers to such questions as:

What is a performance review? Is it the same as a performance appraisal or employee review?

What will happen during the interview/discussion? What will the review cover? What time periods might be involved eg. is it an annual review only?

What is my role in the review? What can I do? What can't I do? Is my job at risk? What about salary and other payments?

How do I prepare? What control can I exercise?

Can I ask for things that I want, for example, training and further education?

What is a good review or appraisal? What rights do I have? Am I free to complain about or appeal the review process?

What can I achieve? How do I make it a positive experience?
