An insightful employee performance review should include an overview of the previous review and objectives, actionable feedback from the supervisor, and employee feedback. The supervisor should discuss whether previous goals are being met or are in progress and provide specific goals and recommendations to help the employee improve their performance. The review also needs to be a two-way street, with the employer asking specific questions related to job performance, job satisfaction, opportunities for improvement, personal goals, and any other areas which may affect ongoing performance. Lastly, employers should create a rubric to rank employees' responses to assess each individual's work adequately.
