Self-Evaluation Questions
Consider giving a copy of the following questions to your employee prior to
completing the performance appraisal document. Written, specific information from
your employee will help you prepare the document and have a more focused
performance discussion and review.
• What do you consider to be your major on-the-job accomplishments since your
last review?
• List your areas of strengths and areas needing improvement.
• Do you have the resources you need to perform your job? What additional
resources or information would be helpful?
• Are there any changes that could be made to improve your effectiveness?
• What skills or new knowledge would you like to develop to improve your
performance?
• What can you, your supervisor, or the agency do to improve your performance
and increase your overall job satisfaction?
• How would you assess communication within your department? How well
informed are you of the information necessary to perform your duties efficiently?
What additional information do you need?
• What are your long-range career objectives and what are your plans to
accomplish these objectives? Objectives include potential job rotations,
promotions, additional job responsibilities, education, and training.
• What goals would you be interested in working toward between now and the next
performance evaluation?
• How will you measure progress toward these goals?
• How can you bring added value to this organization?
