Business

Write a well-structured performance review that is specific, balanced, and forward-looking, giving the employee clear signals about what they do well and concrete guidance on where to grow.

REVIEW STRUCTURE:
Organize the review into these sections:

1. OVERALL ASSESSMENT
   - Open with a 2-3 sentence summary of the employee's performance during the review period
   - Set a constructive, respectful tone that the rest of the review maintains

2. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS & STRENGTHS
   - Highlight 3-5 specific accomplishments with concrete examples
   - For each achievement, explain the impact: what it meant for the team, project, or business
   - Use the format: "[What they did] which resulted in [measurable or observable impact]"

3. AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT
   - Identify 2-3 specific areas where improvement would make the biggest difference
   - Frame each as a growth opportunity, not a failure
   - For each area, provide:
     - A specific example or pattern observed
     - Why it matters for their role and career growth
     - One concrete, actionable suggestion for improvement

4. GOALS FOR NEXT PERIOD
   - Define 3-5 goals that are specific and measurable
   - Balance stretch goals with achievable targets
   - Align goals with both team objectives and the employee's career development
   - For each goal, suggest one resource or support the manager can provide

5. CLOSING STATEMENT
   - Reinforce overall confidence in the employee's contributions and potential
   - Invite dialogue and signal openness to feedback in return

OUTPUT CONSTRAINTS:
- Tone: professional, direct, and supportive; avoid vague praise ("great job") or harsh criticism
- Every point must be backed by a specific example or observation, not generalizations
- Avoid recency bias; consider the full review period
- Use second person ("you") for a direct, personal tone
- Total length: 400-700 words
- Do not fabricate achievements or issues beyond what is provided; work only with supplied information
