Tips

  • Share the template with the employee before the meeting so they can self-assess in advance.

  • Lead with strengths before development areas — it creates psychological safety.

  • Be specific about development areas — vague feedback is unkind and unactionable.

  • End by confirming the employee feels heard, not just evaluated.
