Document background
The Performance Evaluation Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in the Netherlands, establishing a structured approach to assessing and managing employee performance. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to formalize their performance management processes in compliance with Dutch employment law, including the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), Works Councils Act, and GDPR requirements. The policy typically includes comprehensive guidelines for conducting regular performance reviews, setting and measuring objectives, providing feedback, and maintaining appropriate documentation. It's particularly important for organizations with multiple employees, those undergoing growth, or companies seeking to standardize their HR processes across different departments or locations within the Netherlands.
