    Evaluations
    https://www.espressoenglish.net/20-business-english-phrases-for-perform
    ance-evaluations/

    A performance evaluation is an evaluation of an employee’s work, skills,


    and attitude on the job. It can also be called a performance
    review or performance appraisal.
    During a performance evaluation, an employee may hear both positive and
    negative feedback (comments) about his/her work. The employee’s manager
    will often praise the employee’s strong points and identify some areas for
    improvement.
    Here are some English phrases for performance evaluations:

    POSITIVE PHRASES FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

    STAYS UP-TO-DATE WITH DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD.


    The word up-to-date means current, so this phrase means that the employee
    keeps his/her knowledge about the field (area of work or study) current.

    IS CONSCIENTIOUS AND DETAIL-ORIENTED.


    Someone who is conscientious is very careful in their work, and pays
    attention to everything they do, carefully checking to make sure their work
    is correct and is of good quality. Someone who is detail-oriented pays
    attention to the details.

    IS PROACTIVE AND RESOURCEFUL.


    A proactive person takes action to make things happen; they don’t just react
    to events. (The opposite of proactive is passive). Someone who
    is resourceful is able to use resources well and in creative ways, especially
    in difficult situations.

    HAS A POSITIVE OUTLOOK.


    The word outlook means “attitude” or point of view.

    IS DISCIPLINED AND PUNCTUAL.


    If you describe a person as disciplined, it doesn’t mean that they were
    punished. Instead, it means that they have self-discipline – the ability to
    control their own behavior and follow the rules. Someone who
    is punctual consistently arrives on time.

    IS AN EXCELLENT TEAM PLAYER.


    Someone who is a team player works well with other people. This
    employee is good at cooperating with his/her co-workers.

    SHOWS A LOT OF INITIATIVE AND TAKES THE LEAD ON


    PROJECTS.
    The word initiative means the power to begin things and work on them
    energetically. It is similar to the word proactive; a person who
    is proactive has a lot of initiative.

    IS A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL WITH VERSATILE


    EXPERTISE.
    A seasoned professional is someone who has been working for a long time
    and has a lot of experience – and is therefore good at their job. The
    word expertise means skill or knowledge in a particular area, and if
    someone’s expertise is versatile, it means the person is capable of doing
    many different things well.

    IS DRIVEN TO SUCCEED AND STRIVES FOR MAXIMUM


    EFFECTIVENESS.
    Describing a person as driven means they are extremely motivated and
    ambitious. To strive means to try very hard, with lots of effort.

    NEVER FAILS TO CAPITALIZE ON OPPORTUNITIES.


    To capitalize on something means to use it for your advantage.

    NEGATIVE PHRASES FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

    OCCASIONALLY FAILS TO ADHERE TO GUIDELINES.


    The word guidelines refers to the rules and regulations for a task or for
    work in general. The word adhere is simply a more formal word for “stick
    to” or “follow” – so this employee sometimes does not follow the proper
    rules for his/her work.

    IS INDECISIVE AND OFTEN PRODUCES MEDIOCRE RESULTS.


    Describing somebody as indecisive means the person has difficulty making
    firm decisions and having confidence in their decisions. If the employee’s
    work is mediocre, it means it is of moderate to inferior quality; there is
    nothing especially good or special about it.

    HAS HAD DIFFICULTY IN MASTERING THE NEW


    PROCEDURES.
    To master something means to learn it very well.

    IS RATHER INCONSISTENT IN MEETING DEADLINES.


    Deadlines are the final dates before which tasks must be finished. If an
    employee is inconsistent in meeting deadlines, it means he/she does not
    always finish their work on time.

    LACKS THE ABILITY TO PRIORITIZE PROJECTS


    APPROPRIATELY.
    The word prioritize means to put things in order of importance. If an
    employee lacks this ability, it means he/she does not have this ability.

    NEEDS TO FOCUS MORE ON DELEGATION.


    Delegation is the act of giving tasks to other people (not keeping all the
    tasks for yourself). The verb form is delegate.

    DEMONSTRATES LITTLE WILLINGNESS TO LEARN NEW


    SKILLS.
    Your willingness to do something is how open-minded and interested you
    are in doing it – so this employee does not appear to be interested in
    learning new things.

    AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT


    INCLUDE PRODUCTIVITY AND TIME MANAGEMENT.
    During a performance evaluation, it’s often a good idea to present negative
    comments in a more positive way, as opportunities to improve. This
    employee needs to improve his/her productivity (how much work they can
    produce) and time management (how they organize their time and schedule,
    and then how well they follow that plan).

    SHOULD WORK ON IMPROVING


    THE CLARITY AND TIMELINESS OF COMMUNICATION.
    This employee’s communication needs to be clearer (clarity) – not
    confusing or vague. The employee also needs to communicate in
    a timely way – at the right time, not too late.

    SHOULD AVAIL HIMSELF OF THE OPPORTUNITY


    TO PURSUE FURTHER TRAINING.
    The expression avail oneself of something means to make use of. The
    word pursue in this context means to try to accomplish something. So this
    employee should take the opportunity to get more training.
