Document background
The Performance Review Document is a crucial tool in Swiss workplace management, designed to facilitate structured evaluation of employee performance while ensuring compliance with Swiss employment law and data protection regulations. It is typically used during annual or semi-annual review cycles to document employee achievements, assess competencies, set new objectives, and plan professional development. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides a formal record of performance discussions, supports career development planning, aids in compensation decisions, and ensures fair and transparent evaluation processes. Under Swiss law, particularly the Code of Obligations and Federal Act on Data Protection, such documentation must maintain objectivity, protect employee privacy, and support fair employment practices. The document is essential for both performance management and legal compliance, providing a clear audit trail of employee development and assessment decisions.
