Stock phrases for performance review?

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 by John Rice
A good blog post at KnowHR recently on performance reviews, which hgihlighted a recent publication offering a whole series of stock phrases for line managers to use in the annual appraisal.

I can understand the need to support line managers to help them conduct constructive performance reviews, but feel that offering 'phrases to memorise' send out the wrong message.

The review is meant to a process which leads to a meaningful conversation, just as any other conversation should be between an employee and their line manager.

Far better to offer tips, advice and guidance on how to have a meaningful and authentic conversation as two adults then to focus on getting through the process with a 'pick & mix' list
