Performance Review

Performance Review That Is Fair

AI Tool: ChatGPTCategory: HR

Turn notes into a balanced review: evidence, impact, and next-cycle goals — no surprise attacks.

The Prompt

Write a performance review from evidence, not mood.

Person / role: {{role}}
Cycle: {{cycle}}
Manager notes (wins, misses, quotes):
{{notes}}
Goals from last cycle: {{last_goals}}
Rating scale we use: {{scale}}

Write:
1. Summary paragraph
2. What went well — each point tied to a note or outcome
3. Where to grow — each point with an example, not a trait attack
4. Rating suggestion on {{scale}} with a one-line rationale
5. 3 goals for next cycle (observable, dated)

Rules:
- Do not invent metrics.
- Do not use "always" / "never".
- If notes are only negative or only glowing, say the packet is incomplete before drafting.

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
