Please note that our sample documents are intended as examples which can act as starting points and prompters.

But they are better than a blank sheet!

Background
What you cover in an appraisal will depend to a large extent on how management works in the organisation over the rest of the year.

What has gone well over the last year, and why?
What has not gone well over the last year, and why? How can the situation be improved in the coming year?
What specific targets do you think you can achieve over the coming year? These can include your current areas of work or new areas of work which you would like to take on.
