Context you provide

• {{company_values}}: Core values to embed in the policy.
• {{current_process}}: Brief description of the current performance review process.
• {{goals}}: Specific objectives (e.g., continuous improvement, transparency, development).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing inputs before starting.
2. Outline a framework for performance evaluations, including frequency, criteria, and rating scales.
3. Incorporate goal-setting techniques (e.g., SMART goals) and continuous feedback mechanisms.
4. Ensure the policy promotes fairness, transparency, and alignment with company values.
5. Provide guidance on implementation and manager training.

Output format A structured policy document with sections: Purpose, Evaluation Process, Goal Setting, Feedback Mechanisms, Fairness and Transparency, and Implementation. Use headings and bullet points, approximately 600–800 words.

Guardrails
