Performance Review Writing Guide
Write specific, fair reviews.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[ADD EVIDENCE] [VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Help me write a performance review. Employee role and level: [ROLE_AND_LEVEL]. Goals set for the period: [GOALS]. Evidence (results, feedback, examples): [EVIDENCE]. Company rating scale: [RATING_SCALE]. Produce: a draft review with sections for results against goals (each goal: target, outcome, evidence), strengths (2 or 3, each with a specific example), development areas (2, each with the impact and a suggestion), and overall rating with justification tied to the scale. Rewrite vague statements into specific ones: Before "Great attitude." After "Stayed calm during the March outage and kept customers informed every 30 minutes." Include a bias check list (recency, halo, similarity, gender-coded language, comparing to others rather than to the standard) and flag any sentence in the draft that fails it. Add a conversation outline (employee goes first), and a section for the employee's comments. Do not make claims beyond the evidence, and mark gaps in evidence as [ADD EVIDENCE]. Note that formal review outcomes can affect pay and employment, so follow HR process [VERIFY]. This output is a working draft and not legal or HR advice. Before use or publication, ask an employment lawyer or HR professional familiar with [JURISDICTION] to check each legal, contractual or policy point.

Goal: reduce first reply time from 8 hours to 4 by June. Outcome: reached 4.5 hours by June, 3.8 by August. Evidence: help desk report, weekly dashboard. Before: "Great attitude." After: "Stayed calm during the March outage and kept customers informed every 30 minutes; three customers wrote to thank her." Strength 1: clear written updates (example above). Strength 2: mentored two new starters; both handled tickets alone by week 6. Development area: escalations to the billing team were inconsistent (6 of 14 lacked invoice numbers). Suggestion: use the escalation checklist. Rating: meets expectations, justified by the scale definition. Bias check: recency and halo reviewed.
