2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews

This book has been so helpful in writing performance reviews- has good suggestions for areas staff are doing well or could use improvement as well as potential performance goals. There are also career specific sections which some may find helpful.

I wish I would have found this book years ago, when I was putting myself through the 'brain damage' if writing performance reviews. This is also a good tool for Self-reflection. I was curious and read 1 Star Reviews on this book. I don't understand the mindset of people who wrote 1-2 star reviews. This book provides a vast resource. It's our job as a reader to find value in it. So here we go- Bad Performance Review for 1-2 star reviewers.

I really wanted to like this book. I was excited before I even received it. Somewhere along the way I missed there were particular examples for titles and roles for more than half of the book. Healthcare wasn't listed, which means I can piecemeal some of it, but most of this book will be unusable to me. These are the areas that phrases for specific roles: Accounting and Finance (accountant, auditor, bookkeeper, controller, credit/collections manager, financial analyst) Human Resources (benefits administrator, compensation analyst, employee and labor relations rep, recruiter, training and org development specialist) Information Technology (data entry operator, database administrator, help desk coordinator, programmer analyst, project manager, systems analyst) Legal (attorney, contract analyst, legal secretary, paralegal) Manufacturing (assembly and packaging technician, distribution manager, equipment technician, machinist, manufacturing supervisor, master scheduler, production control assistant, production lead, production supervisor, r&d engineer, supply chain manager, technical writer) Operations (administrative assistant, customer service representative, executive secretary, facilities maintenance supervisor, office manager, receptionist, research manager, safety and security supervisor, transportation supervisor, warehouse manager) Sales, Marketing, and Accounting (account executive, art director, cashier/checker, event/conference coordinator, fundraising/development executive, graphic designer, market research analyst, marketing director, media planner, product/brand manager, publicist, sales associate- brokerage, sales associate- retail, sales manager, sales representative- outside, telemarketer). I probably would not have purchased this book had I known it didn't really relate to my field. I hop this list helps you to make a more informed decision.

Very helpful

Very useful when writing mid-year and end of year reviews for employees. Provides great phrases which can be incorporated in measurable, objective reviews for staff evaluations. Good buy for someone who has difficult coming up with unique phrases for multiple staff, each with clearly defined and unique performance measures. The book includes phrases for those who are above, meeting or below (needing improvement) in standards by various job classifications. Very good collection.

There are lots of examples of effective statements and bullet points to make as a roster or evaluator. Easily digestible and well organized. Came in useful for some of my more difficult people who had sub-par evaluations. Found some gems for the top performers that generated good ideas and quantifiable and qualitative appraisals.

Good book to find inspiration when writing employee reviews. It's too bad that with advances in technology things like these might be a thing of the past. Using Ai like chatGPT will do the same thing this book is intended to do. That being said you can still use this for inspiration with Ai to come up with well worded reviews.

Loved the categorization of Phrases related to meets/exceeds/fails expectations which is exactly what managers need. The book could use more chapters on IT/digital related roles. It's an excellent resource to start a draft and/or augment reviews, both self assessment and as a people manager.

I bought this to use for my appraisals, although aimed at the interviewer it's also great for answering those tricky questionnaires where you have to self appraise. I don't get a lot of time so anything to make the process quicker!
