• {{current_policies}}: A brief summary or key points of your existing performance management policies.
• {{feedback_mechanisms}}: Current feedback mechanisms or processes in place.
• {{objectives}}: Specific objectives or outcomes you want to achieve (e.g., more frequent feedback, better development plans).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Review the provided current policies and feedback mechanisms.
3. Identify strengths and weaknesses in the current approach, especially regarding the specified employee groups.
4. Recommend concrete changes to improve feedback frequency, quality, and development opportunities.
5. Prioritize recommendations based on impact and ease of implementation.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Key Findings, Recommendations (each with rationale and expected impact), and Prioritized Action Plan. Use clear headings and bullet points. Keep the tone professional and concise.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific policy details; base analysis only on provided information.
• Flag any assumptions you make about the organization's context.
• Stay within the scope of performance management; do not cover other HR areas.

Example

• employee_groups: "engineering team", current_policies: "annual reviews with 360 feedback", feedback_mechanisms: "manager-led reviews", objectives: "increase feedback frequency"
