A Performance Review/Appraisal is an important element of your career and personal development. The thing is, many employees don't really know why they have them, and see them as an opportunity to be scolded or criticized. This isn't their purpose!
Your Performance Review is a golden opportunity to learn more about your performance and develop new skills. It isn't always about the 'tasks' you perform - they should also discuss behavioral competencies that are essential for working in an organization and as a corporate citizen.
The mindset must be right to get the most from your Performance Review. Don't look at it as something 'done' to you. Consider it as an investment in your future, and to get the most from your investment, you will be required to play ball. And remember, your Performance Review is YOUR opportunity to give feedback to your boss about their performance too - for example you could discuss examples where their support has helped you, or lack of support has hindered you.
So here are 10 affirmations you can use to remind yourself of why your Performance Review happens, and why it is important.
1. Your Performance Review gives you Feedback, not Criticism
2. Your Performance Review is for Your Personal Development
3. Your Performance Review is a Learning Experience
4. Your Performance Review is an Investment In You
5. Your Performance Review is Your Opportunity to Give Feedback to Your Boss
6. Your Performance Review sets S.M.A.R.T. Objectives for the Future (look it up!)
7. Your Performance Review References Examples of Your Behavior
8. Your Performance Review is a Two-Way Street
9. Your Performance Review Gives You Confidence to Progress
10. Your Performance Review is as Important to Your Boss as it is to You
