How can you prepare for a performance review?
Explain it like I'm 16
Bring specific examples of your work, note where you need support and think about realistic goals. A review should help clarify progress and future expectations.
A real-world example
Instead of “I improved handovers”, say “I introduced a handover checklist so incoming staff could see outstanding contractor visits and urgent tasks”. Use figures only if you have a reliable record.

Common misunderstanding
A performance review is not only about past mistakes. It can also recognise effective work and agree development goals.
