Sample Questions for an Employee Self-evaluation

Employee self-evaluation is recommended as part of your performance development planning process. It is used to engage and involve employees in taking a close look at their performance.

Employee self-evaluations also contribute to the effectiveness of the exchange between the employee and their manager during the performance development planning or performance appraisal meeting. They help the employee thoughtfully participate in the discussion rather than sitting and taking it all in while the manager talks.


In doing the preparation before the meeting, employees can spend time thinking about what they want to achieve and accomplish in their careers. They can consider factors such as the next job for which they'd like to prepare. They can tell the manager about the kinds of help they will need to achieve their goals.

Every employee needs to develop a career path that will allow them to create a fulfilling work life. The most engaged and motivated employees are ones who have a path that they can see themselves achieving and that makes them able to achieve their goals and dreams.
