Why does it matter?

Performance reviews are an essential measure of a company’s growth, as it tells executives how much their employees have managed to hit their goals and move up in terms of positions. However, it can sometimes be a challenge to get everybody actively engaged in performance reviews. It may be hard for some employees to follow through with all the steps, or for some to understand how important performance reviews are for them. Having an email template that outlines the best tips to ace reviews is thus essential for getting everybody engaged.

When to send?

Consider sending this email around 2 weeks to 1 month before the actual performance review. The situation differs from company to company, but generally it is best to give your team some time to take in the information and bring any concerns up with their managers.

What to include?

Clear steps on how your company measures performance
A message to raise awareness about KPIs for every position
Any pertinent processes that are related to the performance review

Please keep in mind that this is a template. You may change it to suit your company's voice and tone.

Email subject line: Tips to Ace Your Upcoming Performance Review

Hi all,

As previously announced, performance reviews are coming up soon. Here are some useful tips to ensure your reviews are carried out successfully:

Refer to your KPIs previously set with your manager, as well as your job description. This will help you find out how much you have contributed to the company’s growth.

Collect your achievements, and present them in numbers wherever possible. Saying you’ve exceeded your goals by 30% is better than just saying you’ve achieved better results.

Always back up your results with some evidence to support your self-evaluation. This will come in handy when you are discussing your performance review with your manager.

Please note that your deadline to submit your self-evaluations is [Deadline].

If you have any questions about your performance review, please do not hesitate to reach out to your manager for more information.

Best regards,
