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

3. Hold the appraisal meeting
33 Bring the staff appraisal form, and use it to
structure your meeting
33Discuss the comments that the employee will
have left you, giving constructive feedback
33Don’t shy away from any negatives, you need to
discuss areas of performance to be improved
33 Try to spend about half of the meeting looking
forward, discussing any training, development,
or objectives
33 Ask the employee if they have any questions, or
disagree with your comments
