Get the employee's personnel file to review the documentation for his performance throughout the year. The file should contain evaluation forms from previous years, the notes of your regular and informal feedback throughout the year and forms of discipline, if any.

A photocopy of your blank employee evaluation. Use the copy to prepare your evaluation project. Review the performance standards for the position of the employee, consult the records of productivity, the training is completed, and the observations of leadership skills of the employee or development opportunities. Set aside time to focus solely on preparing the assessment because it is an important element of management system performance.

Compare the contents of your employee to draft evaluation form to ensure you cover all areas of performance.

Advise the employee that its evaluation is coming and invited him to provide any documentation of self-assessment such as performance assessments and reporting career goals.

Invite the employee into a conference room where you can sit comfortably without a desk between you. The allocation of seats set the tone for a meeting, you want to reduce tension and anxiety of the employee might have.

Your goal is to create the framework for production, a fruitful discussion.

Describe the evaluation process of employees, how long the meeting and the date on which an increase will be effective. Provide the employee with a copy of your evaluation form developed and discuss each performance standard. Ask him to contribute comments or additions to the discussion. When you finish each section of the evaluation, obtain their impression of the evaluation. If he has copies of its self-evaluation and communication of objectives, review each item and, where appropriate, to integrate its assessment in your evaluation.

Announce the final stage of the evaluation meeting of employees, which is to agree on performance standards and assessments in the evaluation. Expose your business goals and mutually agree on a workplan for the coming year. Repeat the information on the process of evaluation and salary increase. Sign the evaluation form and have the employee sign it too. Thank you for the employee for his contribution to business objectives and submit your own appreciation for his work.
