The Simplest Performance Management Template
Small company with no guidance on performance management? No problem. This template will give you a quick look to understand how your team is performing.
I want to be abundantly clear, this is not a tool to hold over your team and review weekly. “Bella, you’re doing fantastic, look at all these +2s. Bill? Oof, a large number of -2s here.”

I use a similar tool when I am working through performance management, and found it to be highly effective.
