Since my post on
I decided this would be a list of the good, bad, and ugly, so I hope it helps you as you
begin to review your employees. These phrases for effective performance reviews can be
slightly altered as needed for your employee appraisals.
Negative
Todd is continually late for work and should work on this over the next few months to
improve in this area.
Heather fails to show up to work on time and keep a normal work schedule.
Timothy leads meetings which frequently run beyond their alotted time. Over the next
year, Timothy should ensure that his meetings start and end on time.
Jane consistently runs late from her breaks and needs to ensure the breaks are only for
the alotted time.
Communication
Positive
One of Sallys most important skills is her ability to effective communicate complex
topics. Over the past year, this ability has been very useful for the company and has
helped alleviate several problems which arose.
Keith always asks for immediate feedback to ensure he is on task and performing his work
correctly.
One of Franks strengths his ability to provide candor and effectively communicate
change with his employees.
Hildas project teams always commend the way she communicates and encourages
communication.
The feedback Jim provides his coworkers has been essential in how the team has improved
over the past year.
Negative
Communication is one of the areas Jack should work on this year. Effectively
communicating involves more than just providing information when demanded, but
proactively providing information to the team as issues arise. Additionally, Jack should
work on the tone of his communication. Communicating effectively means communicating in a
style and tone which the listener finds easy to accept and understand.
Cooperation
Positive
One of the postitives from this past year has been how Shirley has cooperated through the
difficult company merger. Shirley has demonstrated a willingness to work with the
transition teams and provided an excellent example of how cooperation can yield results.
Heather always creates a positive and inclusive work environment.
One of the more effective things about Jennifers management style is her ability to
build consensus. This has helped cut down on the animosity between the team members over
the past year and improved productivity significantly.
Jerry creates an atmosphere where people can share their thoughts good and bad and
not fear retribution or intimidation.
Negative
Kevin should work to improve his cooperation. Over the past year, there have been several
instances where Kevin has refused to cooperate despite the timing pressures facing his
coworkers which has caused a considerable loss in productivity for the team.
There have been multiple instances of shouting matches between Harry and his coworkers
over the past year. Harry should improve his interpersonal skills over the next year.
Jim has a tendency to make other people feel intimidated when they ask for his
assistance.
Customer Satisfaction
Positive
Jim has consistently gone above and beyond his job to satsify his customers. Jim
demonstrates how excellent customer service can have a lasting effect on customer
relationships.
Over the past six months, Susans attention to customer satisfaction has not gone
unnoticed. Susan works with customers until their problems are resolved and often goes an
extra step to help upset customers be completely surprised by how far we will go to
satisfy customers.
Travis skillfully overcomes client objections.
George is a empathetic listener and makes each customer know he values their time.
Matt is clearly a "people" person and shows his clients how much he likes working with
them.
Negative
Tom should continue to work on how his daily activities affect his customers. Tom
doesnt consistently ensure his customers are satisified and occasionally has complaints
levvied against his work. Over the next three months, Tom should work to improve how he
interacts with customers, how he communicates with them, and how well he meets their
needs.
Yoli needs to work on managing customer expectations. Frequent delays and problems are
reported by her customers which frequently turn out to be a problem with how she managed
their expectations.

lost revenue.
George is very effective at setting goals and objectives with his employees and ensuring
they meet these goals.
One of Kevins strengths is his ability to design measurements for goals to ensure they

business goals is a great asset to this company.
Negative

for himself, but infrequently can achieve these goals. Setting attainable goals will help
Jack improve his performance productivity.
Terry consistently misses targets and does not stay up to date with the objectives
expected of him.
James seems to want to achieve all of his goals in the last few weeks before annual
performance review time, but does not consistently work towards his goals throughout the

his goals or objectives are not met.

people to take a chance.
