Evaluation is no longer a process that is just done by the supervisor. The employees are also required to assess their work and performance, in the form of self-evaluation. That, in combination with the supervisory evaluation and other formalities, forms a part of the company\u2019s appraisal policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A performance evaluation is not just an evaluation and assessment by the employer and HR. It also includes self-evaluation or self-assessment by the employees themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good self-evaluation has multiple benefits.

It requires them to analyze their strengths and weaknesses so that they can perform better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are three important questions that the employee needs to ask themself while writing a self-assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should I keep doing?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should I stop doing?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should I start doing?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Correctly answering these three questions can clear a lot of things, both for the employee at the time of self-assessment and the subsequent assessors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s scenario when organizational structures are multifaceted and multigenerational, competition is high. Self-evaluation plays an even more important role as assessing one&#8217;s performance gains relevance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, is that the only reason self-evaluation is important? No. Let\u2019s find out why self-appraisal or self-evaluation is important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is Self Evaluation Important?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you know the answer to this question, you\u2019d know why HR conducts self-evaluation practices for employees. You ought to know the importance of it. Here are a few reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ownership<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employee self-evaluation gives them a sort of ownership at work. This indirectly means they are more accountable for the work they do. Indeed, managers are not absolved of their responsibilities and they are still the ones overseeing the work of the employees, but self-evaluation makes the latter more responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motivation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-assessment also gives a sense of motivation to the employees. Employees feel empowered as they feel they matter and they are no longer seeing the company grow from the background. Self-evaluation gives the employees the chance to play at a level field, identify their issues and talk in a more confident tone about them. This also leads to more confident <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/one-on-ones-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one on one<\/a> discussions and fruitful review meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better Relationships<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees who are more self-aware when it comes to their professional shortcomings and know how to deal with them are also the ones who manage to foster better relationships with their teammates, including their supervisors and subordinates. Self-evaluation plays a huge role in boosting their morale, thereby improving their communication skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing Career<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-assessment also helps the employees in improving their career trajectory as they are aware of their strengths and weaknesses and also how they can harness the former to minimize the latter. This can help them look for better opportunities in the future, whether within the organization or outside it. This also helps the employees assess what exactly they are looking for, which directly affects the way they discuss their roles at the time of appraisal meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No discrepancies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not the least, self-evaluation is a great way to minimize any sort of discrepancies that may arise due to miscommunication or distorted employer-employee relationships. Separate evaluation forms submitted by both the manager and the subordinate help the evaluation process where the manager may better understand where it is that they are differing from their subordinate when it comes to assessing and evaluating the performance. This helps remove any communication barrier, which, of course, leads to better relationships and performances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the Steps to Writing a Good Self Evaluation?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-195445\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74.jpeg\" alt=\"Self evaluation\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74-1024x681.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74-1536x1022.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74-100x67.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74-677x450.jpeg 677w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9840B58D-F765-48E6-869F-E80FA075EA74-1600x1064.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing a good self-assessment may seem easy, but requires a lot of skill and finesse. That\u2019s why you need to guide your employees on how they can write one in the best way possible. Here are the steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goal Identification<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are usually two types of goals per employee; the ones that are assigned to them and the ones attached to them personally by their managers. The employees need to identify both with the manager for a good self-evaluation and then set <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-smart-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SMART goals<\/a> for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Few good examples of personal goals are being better at time management, improving communication skills, etc. The employee should be able to discuss anything that they wish to improve to refine one&#8217;s professional skills, whether or not it is related to the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assigned goals, on the other hand, refer to their assigned tasks or KPIs and are related to the job at hand. A part of self-evaluation also requires the employees to know where they are falling short when it comes to achieving these goals as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall goal is to identify the goals. This is the first and foremost thing to do while drafting a self-evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review Comparison<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is always good to measure growth with respect to a certain parameter. In terms of self-evaluation, the best possible parameter is the last evaluation process. The employee should compare and measure growth since the last appraisal and evaluation process and figure out what has been achieved and what remains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managers cannot remember the pitfalls and strengths of each team member. It thus falls on the team members to evaluate themselves correctly. And the best way to do it is by comparing their last self-evaluation report with the current one. This helps them know what they have worked on during the year and what they need to do when it comes to achieving personal or assigned goals (as discussed above).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also a great exercise for the employees to know if or not a certain solution worked for them. If not, they can put that forth in the current review so that a new solution can be found.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growth Plan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies nowadays have an array of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/employee-development-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employee Development Plans<\/a> that aim to help employees do their work better and be in a cycle of continuous improvement. But, what about the employees themselves? Encourage the employees to come up with their growth plan based on their growth trajectory. Ask them to share their strengths, weaknesses, and a way to come around the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will help the management in coming up with customized courses and plans that can help each employee rather than a one-size-fits-all approach which is more of a formality than a fruitful solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company and Personal Core Values<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important part of employee self-evaluation is combining personal core values with that of the company. As we have already mentioned, it is important for the employees to not only work on assigned goals but personal goals as well. Similarly, they also need to list down what are their core values and how they sync in with the company\u2019s core values. The reason being, the two need to match to some extent for a good employee-organization relationship. If the core values are drastically different, the next exercise is to find a spot of synergy to mitigate the differences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peer Review<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance appraisal and review is no longer just about the employee and manager. It is also about the team. Hence, it is important what the peers or colleagues think. How difficult or easy is it to work with the said employee? Now, this is the answer that they need to find out and put in their self-evaluation. Yes, in most cases a third party, mostly the HR or the manager is the one asking this question in team review sessions (one on one). But, passing the baton to the employee can prove to be a good reality check, one that goes unfiltered. Agreed, there are chances of them not getting accurate feedback in one go, but over time, this will help employees get better and more honest with each other concerning individual performance, leading to better peer reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-196754\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Self-Assessment-Form-Example-min.jpeg\" alt=\"Self Assessment Form Example\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Self-Assessment-Form-Example-min.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Self-Assessment-Form-Example-min-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Self-Assessment-Form-Example-min-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Self-Assessment-Form-Example-min-100x75.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Self-Assessment-Form-Example-min-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/slideplayer.com\/slide\/5728710\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Source<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Self Evaluation Examples or Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few examples of self-evaluation phrases that you can pass on to your employees while training them on how to craft a good one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self Evaluation Examples &#8211;

That\u2019s what needs to be conveyed to the employee when they are being trained on the assessment technique.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Tips for a Good Self Evaluation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not that difficult to write a self-evaluation. However, the employee should know certain core tips and principles before submitting the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Honest<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to be transparent and honest about the performance. An exaggerated self-evaluation is of no use. The purpose of self-evaluation is to know one\u2019s shortcomings, rather than write a far-fetched essay on one\u2019s achievements. The employees need to know this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Critical<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is better to criticize yourself rather than be criticized. Encourage employees to look at themselves critically =. This would help them be more accepting of their pitfalls and how to work on those.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Proud<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being honest and critical is good, but so is being proud of one\u2019s achievements. Encourage your employees to list down theirs and know exactly what they did right to achieve those numbers. This helps boost their confidence. Self-evaluation is a mix of strengths and weaknesses. Push the employees to not lean heavily towards either and rather create a balance of both while writing their self-evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strive for Continuous Growth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of self-evaluation is to strive towards continuous growth. That\u2019s why companies are continuously coming up with improvement plans and courses for the benefit of the employees. Employees too, via their self-evaluation, show interest in such growth plans and suggest if they need something more to help them grow professionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back Insights with Hard Facts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statements are far-fetched unless backed by hard claims. Encourage your employees to measure their performances, whether by single tasks or overall percentage attribution to other goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Self Evaluation a Better Way to Assess Performance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not a better one, but certainly a crucial one. A good performance appraisal is a combination of self-evaluation, peer review, manager\u2019s review, and HR\u2019s review. Self-evaluation, however, plays a huge role in boosting the self-confidence of the employees and also helps them realize their professional problems on their own. This self-realization helps them work better. The same can be achieved via manager reviews as well, but self-evaluation has better results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your organization conduct self-evaluation sessions?
