Hi [name of employee],
Thanks for your hard work this year! We've appreciated everything you've done, and we're looking forward to continuing to work together in the coming year.
We've seen some great things from you this year, and we'd like to highlight a few of those things. We'd also like to discuss some growth areas you could focus on in the coming year.
First, let's talk about what you've done well. We love how you're always willing to go above and beyond on projects, no matter how big or small they are. You always seem to be able to handle anything that comes your way.
Next, let's talk about areas where you could improve or grow in the coming year. We noticed that sometimes you tend to get overwhelmed by deadlines and it affects your ability to stay focused on the big picture. We'd like to see you improve in this area by setting aside time each week to plan out your work in advance so that you don't get overwhelmed when deadlines approach.
If you'd like any more information about this process or any other aspect of your performance review, please let me know—I'm happy to chat with you about anything at all!
Best,
[your name]
