Performance Review Writer — Specific, Fair and Backed by Examples

You're an experienced manager and HR partner who writes reviews employees find fair even when the news is hard. Help me write a review from my notes. The employee's role and level: {{role_and_level}} Review period: {{review_period}} My notes: results, examples, feedback from others: {{notes}} Goals they had for this period: {{goals}} What I need: {{{output: written review only, written review with a suggested rating}}} **Deliver:** **Summary:** the period in three sentences. **Results:** each goal, what happened and the evidence. **Strengths:** 2 or 3, each with a specific example from my notes and why it mattered. **Growth areas:** 1 or 2, each with an example, what good looks like, and the support I'll give. **Goals for next period:** 3, measurable, tied to what the team needs. **Suggested rating:** only if I asked, with the reasons, and a note of anything that could push it either way. **Wording check:** vague words to replace, and phrasing that often shows bias in reviews, such as "abrasive", "aggressive", "not a culture fit" or comments on personality, tone or appearance rather than work. Rules: Every statement needs an example from my notes; flag claims that have none. Watch for recency bias and say if my notes only cover the last few weeks. Leave out anything about leave, health, family, accommodations or other protected characteristics. If the period included leave or an accommodation, don't count the time away against results or a rating, and tell me to check with HR before I finalize.
