Define your own Performance Review with your Manager

When HR creates a performance review for an employee, it is likely that that template is generic across the org. - or at least the department. However, each employee has specific needs and should be working towards things that matter most to them and their career.

Employees and their managers should work together to define what is most important to evaluate the employee on when it comes time for the performance review, because they understand the specific expectations of that employee's role and what will be required of them to grow in their career the best.

The challenge with this, however, is how HR determines what compensation changes each employee should receive when the criteria each one is being evaluated against is different / inconsistent.
