It is important to set an objective before conducting a performance review.

Performance reviews require a lot of groundwork and can be confusing sometimes.

So here are some important things to keep in mind when you prepare a performance review

questionnaire.

1. Simple Language

The questionnaire should be designed using a clear language. Do not scare your employees off with highly advanced language. Keep it simple; use the language that everyone understands and cut down the organizational acronyms.

2. Balanced Approach

It is important to use a balanced approach when designing a questionnaire. Use a mix of closed and open questions. You might find it easier to add closed questions with multiple choices but open-ended questions help you get more valuable answers from your employees.

3. Keep It ShortAccording to SurveyMonkey, “The more questions you ask, the less time your respondents spend, on average, answering each question.”We all know that the quality of answers will be compromised if the questionnaire is really long and requires lot of time to fill in. So keep it short!

4. No Leading Words

When you are preparing a performance review questionnaire, it is important to mask any biases that you might have. Asking questions with leading words lead employees towards a certain answer. Keep your questions simple and neutral.

5. Keep Calm And Stay Focused

Performance reviews are sometimes overwhelming and can lead to distractions. It is important to stick to the main objective of the performance review. So only ask questions based on the employee performance and do not make it a ‘Get To Know Your Employee Better’ survey.
