- 1). Read your latest performance review carefully. The review should include a comments section for your feedback about the review. If you disagree with any area of the review, state your objection and give your reasoning this in the comments section. Disagree tactfully, professionally and truthfully; include proof, if necessary. Do not object simply because you're sensitive to criticism.
- 2). Write down the areas of your work performance you need to improve. Your supervisor should give you a copy of the action plan, but you should also take your own notes regarding what you need to work on and how you will accomplish each task. Concentrate on the favorable aspects of your jobs (what you like about it) and the positive contributions that you've made (or would like to make) to the company.
- 3). Ask your supervisor for additional resources not included in the action plan. You can include the resources in the comments section of the performance review. Or, send your supervisor an email requesting any extra training or materials that can enhance your work performance. This demonstrates your assertiveness and willingness to grow .
- 4). Keep track of each goal as you accomplish it. For example, if your performance review says you need to improve your time management skills, write down the dates that you started and finished your assignments. This can help prove that you've learned to manage your time effectively.
- 5). Meet the deadline for each objective. Your supervisor may conduct periodic meetings with you (before the next performance review) to discuss your progress. If you're supposed to improve on particular areas by each of these meetings and you haven't, this will be noted in your next performance review. Try to improve your performance within the allotted time frame. Consistently good performance reviews require consistency in your work performance.
