A performance review is a form of communication that can be difficult to navigate. The most important thing to remember is that it is not an interrogation. A performance review should be an opportunity for the employee and their manager to talk about their progress and what they have done well.
Some tips on how you can improve your performance review skills include:
- Be open-minded, even if you don't agree with the feedback given by your manager or co-workers
- Take notes during the conversation so that you can refer back to them later
- Come up with questions for your manager that will help them elaborate on their feedback
- Don't get defensive when someone talks about one of your weaknesses
