Document background
The Annual Performance Review document is a crucial tool in Swiss employment relationships, designed to facilitate systematic evaluation of employee performance while ensuring compliance with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and data protection regulations. It is typically used at the end of each review period (usually annual) to assess employee achievements, set new objectives, and document professional development plans. The document includes comprehensive evaluation criteria, self-assessment components, and manager feedback sections, providing a balanced view of performance while maintaining objectivity and fairness. This structured approach helps organizations maintain consistent performance management practices across all departments while creating a documented history of employee development and performance discussions, which is essential for both legal compliance and organizational development in the Swiss business context.
