Performance evaluation

A performance evaluation, or performance review is a tool used by employers to measure the effectiveness of an employee. This tool is used to evaluate both their strengths and weaknesses for an assessment of their career standing with a company. Ideally, the evaluation helps the employee recognize where their weaknesses are and guides them to do better in that area, essentially making them a better employee. Employers also use the performance evaluation to determine pay raises and promotions.

Some companies ask employees to perform a self evaluation, a performance evaluation on themselves. It helps employees identify their strengths and weaknesses, where they feel they fit in the company, and how well they think they do at their job. The employee's manager then reviews the self-evaluation with the employee, providing their evaluation and how it aligns with the self-evaluation.
