Announcement of the Performance Review email template

Why does it matter?

Every company is different. Some have performance reviews once a year, while some do them every quarter. Performance reviews help companies ensure that they are getting the best out of their employees, and ensure that employees get fair opportunities for promotions or salary increases. Announcements like these put everybody on alert to reflect on how much they have grown from the last performance review.

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 get their final goals sorted. Early performance review announcements are also great for your management, as they will have more time to prepare for and carry out the reviews without being bottle necked.

What to include?

• All pertinent dates for the performance review
• Key steps leading up to the reviews

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