Performance review

quote:

---

For hiring managers, do you ask your direct reports to do a self-assessment of their own performance and have them send this to you for review?

We generally go over these together in person when I do their annual review. I am good about doing quarterly reviews though, so they are never surprised at annual time.

Yea, I enjoy wasting my time and theirs.

I get my direct enployees to do an annual self assessment. It's a simple 5 section review where they rate themselves from 1 to 5. And give an explanation. They submit to me, I go over it and I add my ratings and explanations. I then go over it with them that way everything is out in the open between the employee and myself. We discuss a pay increase that reflects his rating. Everybody walks away knowing their strong points and weaknesses. And making more money.
