1. Prepare for the meeting

33 If they’ve had an appraisal before, review any

notes you may have on file for the employee

33 Refresh your memory of the review period,

as this will help you to make a more rounded

decision over the long term – rather than their

performance just prior to their appraisal

33 Ask colleagues, who’ve worked closely with them,

their opinion on the employee’s performance

2. Send the form to your employee

33 Send an appraisal form to the employee and ask

them to complete a ‘self-review’

33 Give a deadline by which they should complete

their form; two weeks is recommended

33 Use the self-review to help create your feedback,

and prepare for the appraisal
