About this template
The problem with most review forms is that they end in a rating and nothing else. This one puts four star ratings up front for the comparable part, then spends the rest of the form on achievements, development, and agreed goals, which is the part the employee actually takes away from the conversation.
Asking the same four dimensions of every person on the team is what makes a review defensible later. Quality, reliability, collaboration and ownership cover most roles without needing a separate form per department, and because they are scored one to five you can look at a whole team in one view when promotion season arrives.
The employee comments field matters more than it looks: it is the written record that the person had a chance to disagree. Add a salary or promotion recommendation field if managers own that decision, or remove the signature if your process ends in a system rather than on a form.
Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.

Frequently asked questions
- What should a performance review form include?
- Scored assessment across a few consistent areas, the biggest achievements, where support is needed, and agreed goals for the next period. Goals are what make a review worth holding.
- Should the same form go to everyone?
- Yes, within a team. Identical questions are the only practical way to make two reviews comparable, and a review nobody can compare is a rating that gets forgotten in a month.
- Can the employee fill in their own?
- Send them the same link before the meeting and compare the two. The gap between a self assessment and a manager assessment is usually the most useful part of the conversation.
