PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PROCESSES: performance reviews

Performance Management Processes: Defined

Performance reviews are a formal assessment of an employee’s work performance that identifies their strengths and weaknesses, provides feedback and sets goals for future performance. Performance reviews are also called performance appraisals or performance evaluations. While both performance reviews and performance appraisals and at times employee evaluations, evaluate an employee's performance, they differ in purpose, scope, and approach. Understanding these distinctions is essential to effectively implementing and utilizing each process.

Types of Performance Reviews:

Self Appraisals

Peer Reviews

A self-appraisal is when an employee reflects on their personal performance. Here, they identify their strengths and weaknesses. They may also recount their milestones with the EBMO. This type of appraisal usually involves filling out a form, and their manager or the HR official may choose to follow up on this written self-assessment with a one-on-one meeting.

Peer reviews use coworkers as the evaluator for a particular employee. This type of performance appraisal can help assess whether an employee works well with teams and contributes to their share of work. Usually, the employee reviewing the individual is someone who works closely with them and understands their skills and attitude.
