Essential performance planning questions

Performance reviews are not about the form.  They are not about checkmarks or ratings.  They’re about helping your associates reinforce their sense of achievement with the organization, and this is best done through a series of open-ended questions that focus on strengths and contributions. 

Here are three options based on this philosophy.

Option 1

  • worker 1How would you describe your current role?
  • What do you enjoy most about your current role?
  • How would you describe your success in your current role?
  • What personal factors contribute to your success?
  • What parts of your role are you struggling with?
  • What would be the ideal role for you in this organization?

     

Option 2

  • worker 2Describe your key responsibilities.
  • Identify your areas of strength.
  • What have been your most important contributions?
  • Comment on areas in need of development.
  • What are your key priorities for the coming year?

     

Option 3

  • worker 3What I really do here.
  • What I’m especially good at.
  • My biggest contributions over the past year.
  • Where I want to improve and how I see that happening.
  • My most important priorities for the year.
  • Where I see myself five years from now.
  • What this place really needs and how I could help.
