Tips for Completing a
Self-Evaluation

Performance evaluations are useful tools to help managers and employees understand how they are doing and where they may be able to improve. If you haven’t already, you’ll likely be asked to complete a self-evaluation prior to a performance review. For many professionals, that can be a daunting task. However, preparing a self-evaluation doesn’t have to be difficult. Here are a few tips to consider when working on your next self-evaluation.

 

Be Honest

It’s tempting to inflate your role on a project or your accomplishments. In the long run, however, sticking to the facts will serve you best. Your manager knows where you succeeded and what areas you may still need to work on. Exaggerating how successful you were or how large a part you played on various projects may cause your manager to lose trust in you. Conversely, being totally honest about where you can improve will show your manager that you are invested in your role and that you have the self-awareness necessary to succeed.

ON TOPIC

An annual or semiannual self-evaluation is an important piece of a performance review. It is meant to provide perspective for both the employee and the manager. We asked some veteran managers what they take way from their direct reports’ self-evaluations. Here’s what they had to say.

 

“I appreciate some introspection. I’m not interested in only what they’ve accomplished. I want them to also highlight areas where they’ve grown and could further improve.” – Francis, risk management

 

“When someone is honest and self-aware with regard to their performance, it can be helpful to all parties. A realistic plan can be made for the next period, and the employee is likely to find success having an open and realistic dialogue with their manager.” – Maura, health care

 

“Not everyone accomplishes all the goals that were set out. I want them to acknowledge that and provide thoughts on how they’re going to continue to progress and meet those goals.” – Paul, data analytics
