The self-appraisal form
What is a self-appraisal form?
A self-appraisal form provides employees with the opportunity to plan for their upcoming appraisal meeting. The form guides the employee through assessing their accomplishments, challenges, highlights and difficulties, as well as probing them to consider their training needs, skills that could be put to use and future ambitions. It also advises employees of the items of supporting evidence they should bring to the appraisal meeting.
How do you write a self-appraisal?
Employees will commonly ask ‘how do I write my self-appraisal?’. The best way to provide guidance is with a self-appraisal form. The self-appraisal should include:
- A summary of the appraisal meeting details
- Details of what the employee should bring with them to the appraisal meeting
- A summary of accomplishments
- A summary of challenges
- Highlights from the last 12 months
- Difficulties during the last 12 months
- How the employee sees their role developing
- A list of skills the employee would like to develop
- Space for other suggestions
It’s critical that employees complete a self-appraisal form. This form provides a unique insight to the manager, allowing them to understand the employee’s performance from their perspective.
It can enable the manager to learn more about the training needs of an employee, their strengths and weaknesses, and their employee experience.

- A summary of the appraisal meeting details
- A review of current performance
- An assessment of performance
- Objectives for the individual’s ongoing performance
- Opportunities for developing the role
- Career and progression ambitions
- A signature from both appraiser and employee
