Document background
The Performance Evaluation Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Switzerland, establishing standardized procedures for assessing employee performance while ensuring compliance with Swiss employment law, data protection regulations, and anti-discrimination provisions. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to formalize their performance management processes, ensure legal compliance, and maintain consistency in employee evaluations across departments. The policy encompasses evaluation criteria, timing, documentation requirements, and appeal procedures, all aligned with Swiss legal requirements including the Swiss Code of Obligations and Federal Act on Data Protection. It is particularly important for organizations seeking to implement transparent, fair, and legally sound performance management practices while protecting both employer and employee interests under Swiss jurisdiction.
