Self assessments - I need help!!!!
Posted , 5 users are following.
i have a self assessment at work to do, I not sure if I can. Do I mention it to my boss, or ask a colleague to help. My boss is part of the problem, but don't know what to do. The assessment is part of the bonus, but I have no positive thoughts. I know I've struggled a lot the end of last year, with my work really poor. I need help in what to do?

Just do an honest assement. I had a lot of time off last year so I put that down on mine, its not like the boss doesn't know anyway. Asides that if you feel you have done a good job just write that even if you don't expect him/her to agree. Thats all you can do. Besides how else is anyone going to know how great you are unless you point it out

you don't need to mention any health issues in your 1-2-1 appraisal unless you want to.
you always have the option of asking HR to sit in, if you feel your boss is adding to your issues or maybe speak to them in advance as to how best to address the issues with your boss. have examples of issues and suggestions as to how things could be better for you i.e. how they can motivate you, speak to you, address you etc. that way you're offering some solutions and not just issues/problems alone.
hope it goes ok x

there should be a guide or template that can assist with the form completion? is there anyway you can ask for instruction or someone else that has to do it that can help?
have you tried CBT to help with your thought process, it has helped me a bit but still early days. no harm in asking your GP to refer for it?
sorry things are tough right now.

Writing a self-evaluation can be a difficult process for many employees. Despite knowing themselves and the work they have done better than anyone, employees can struggle to put it all down on a paper in a way that comes off as objective.
Be proud. The main aspect of the appraisal is to highlight accomplishments. You need to ensure that the work you are most proud of is highlighted in your self-evaluation. You need to point to specific tasks and projects that you best work on. When talking up those accomplishments, you should be sure to emphasize the impact each of those had on the business as a whole as a way to show how valuable your work is to the company.
Be concise. While you might be inclined to write about each step of the successful project or task, your best bet is to be concise. The work should stand on its own. This is the time to make sure the boss remembers that you did it.
Be honest. Honesty is another critical aspect of writing a self-review. More than likely, the boss knows better than anyone when a good job was done.
So trying to highlight a project or task you have done as just okay, rather than great, won't have much impact. In fact, it likely will show those in charge that you don't truly have a grasp on your own performance.
And what type of work qualifies as just okay
should be consider good or great.
Part of being honest also means pointing out some areas that could be improved.
"You don’t want to say, 'Here's where I really fall down,'" "Instead, say 'Here's an area I want to work on. This is what I've learned. This is what I should do to go forward.'"
Also use your self-evaluations as a time to ask your boss for career development opportunities, even if the boss isn't asking you
"Because if you don’t ask, it's not going to happen,"
Be professional. Finally, you need to remember to always be professional when writing a self-assessment. This means not using it as an opportunity to bash the boss for poor leadership skills or co-workers for making life more difficult.
Bosses and manager who are honest with themselves are the first to recognize that there are times when they make mistakes,
"Being diplomatic is your best course of defense,"Keep your personal opinions to yourself
