Reminder for Employees to Complete Their Performance Review email template

Why does it matter?

Gentle reminders before the company’s performance review deadline day can be a huge help for employees. They might be occupied with work or other tasks, or might still be unsure about their self-evaluation. Sending reminders to those who have not yet completed their performance review helps the company fulfill their company-wide evaluation deadline, and also shows employees that you value them.

When to send?

Send this email around 3 days to a week before your performance review deadline day. This will give anyone who has not completed their self-evaluation enough time to finish their task.

What to include?

• A reiteration of the self-evaluation deadline 
• Words of encouragement to complete the task on time

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