Review Coach Guide for Managers
Review Coach helps you strengthen your Manager Assessment before sharing it. Use it to identify anything you may have missed, communicate feedback clearly, and prepare for the review conversation.
Where to Find Review Coach
Open the employee’s review and find Review Coach in the Helpful Resources panel.
Choose Assess to review your draft or compare it with other performance information. Choose Inspire for help preparing to discuss the review.
Assess Your Review
Coach | How it helps |
Compare with Objectives | Compare the employee’s completed Objectives with your assessment to help identify achievements or outcomes you may have missed. |
Compare with previous Feedback | Look for themes from previous 360° Feedback and Anytime Feedback that may deserve attention in your assessment. |
Compare with previous Review | Compare your assessment with the employee’s most recent review to identify topics worth revisiting. |
Evaluate the Review generally | Reviews your Manager Assessment and suggests improvements. If your company has connected a career framework, it also considers role expectations and competencies. |
Evaluate tone | Helps you communicate feedback clearly, respectfully, and constructively. |
Prepare for the Review Conversation
Under Inspire, select Delivering this Review in person for suggestions on structuring a clear, constructive, and engaging review conversation.
How to Get Started
Write your first draft. Include specific examples of the employee’s contributions, their impact, and areas for growth.
Choose a Coach. Start with what you need help with. You don’t need to use every Coach.
Review the suggestions. Check that they accurately reflect the employee’s performance and context, then use the ones that help strengthen your assessment.
Use the suggestions to support your judgment. Keep your feedback grounded in examples and leave room for the employee’s perspective during the conversation.
