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.

 

The staff appraisal form

What is a staff appraisal form

A staff appraisal form is a tool used by line managers to evaluate a staff appraisal meeting and summarise the objectives decided on. It often proves to be an invaluable document for tracking employee performance and progression, whilst also being useful for employers so they can easily refer to their objectives.

A staff appraisal form should include:

  • 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

Sarah-Jane Bond

Recruitment Specialist

I have spent the majority of my career working in Operational and Project Management roles. I first worked with ACR about 25 years ago as a candidate. ACR secured me a role at RNIB, where I stayed for 15 years, finishing as Head of Operations. Recruitment has always been a big part of the roles I have undertaken and is something that I really enjoy. When you match a fantastic candidate with the right client there is no better feeling!
Favourite food: “Has to be any dish from the Mediterranean”
Favourite film: “There are many, love a chick flick, especially ‘The Holiday at Christmas”

Outside of work

“I love socialising with friends, can always squeeze a bit of retail therapy in around volunteering at Deeping Rangers FC, running their hospitality on match days.”

Sarah-Jane on ACR

“I couldn’t have been more delighted when Nel asked me to join the company and have felt at home since day one. They really do care about providing the best service for their clients and candidates, building genuine relationships with both. The team culture is second to none, everyone supporting and looking out for each other. It is a pleasure to come to work every day.”

Emily Roach

Recruitment Specialist

Emily was a Primary School Teacher for 10 years, before moving into the EdTech space, as a Relationship Specialist for MATs. She joined ACR in July 2023 and particularly thrives when recruiting for Account Management, Customer Service and Sales roles.
Favourite food:
“Spag bol or pizza”
Favourite film:
“The Notebook – or any romantic chick flick really!”
Outside of work
“I have a 1-year-old, so love fun family weekends with my fiancé and son more than anything. Time socialising with friends and family is where I’m happiest.”
Emily on ACR
“The unique culture, values, and style at ACR is polar opposite to other recruitment agencies and what I believed recruitment was. Having previously been a Relationship Specialist, I feel I’m doing the same thing! No hard sell, we truly care about our candidates and clients, and the team culture is 2nd to none!”
