Performance Rating Sheet

A performance rating sheet lets a manager rate every member of a team on one page using the same parameters, so scores can be compared and totals converted into final rating bands. HR uses the completed sheets to consolidate department ratings before calibration and increments.

Frequently asked questions

What is a performance rating sheet?+

It is a table where a manager rates multiple employees on common parameters, totals the scores and assigns a final rating band.

How do you convert scores into ratings?+

Add or average the parameter scores, then use a band table, for example 23–25 = Outstanding, 19–22 = Exceeds, and so on.

Can one sheet be used for different roles?+

It is better to use one sheet per role family so parameters are relevant and comparisons are fair.
