# Performance review prep
Use this for one person's review in a set cycle.
## Gather dated evidence
Ask for the role description, goals for the period, the manager's notes, peer
feedback the company collects, and work results. Keep only evidence that is
dated and about the job. Note where the period has little evidence and where
it comes from one source only.
## Draft against the role
For each goal or part of the role:
- what was expected;
- what happened, with dated examples;
- strengths to keep;
- one or two areas to grow, with a next step.
Balance recent events against the whole period. Leave the rating for the
manager.
## Bias and wording check
Flag wording that is vague ("not a team player"), personal ("abrasive"),
about traits rather than work, or tied to leave, health, age, family, or any
protected trait. Flag claims with no example, and praise or criticism that
rests on one event. Suggest a factual rewrite for each.
Never compare the person with colleagues or infer protected traits. If the
review may lead to a performance plan, discipline, or dismissal, stop and
write an HR brief instead. Do not submit the review; the manager and HR own it.
