5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for people managers,
By Hip Chick (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ready-to-Use Performance Appraisals: Downloadable, Customizable Tools for Better, Faster Reviews! (Paperback)
This is a great tool for managers who are responsible for writing performance reviews for their staff. It provides an actionable outline for the performance review process (if your company doesn't already have one). Most importantly, it provides pre-written paragraphs and text to help you articulate how employees exceeded or didn't meet expectations. (Great for those who don't have much experience writing reviews or those who just need some fresh ways to express their thoughts.)

This book is great. If you are just starting out writing appraisals or just want something fresh and new, this is a great book to use. With this book it was a time saver for me because it addresses pretty much every area that I needed for my associate reviews. Best of all, it's user friendly. I highly recommend this book.
