How to measure qualitative performance

Performance reviews often require you to assess an employee’s performance on some qualitative aspects of the job. To do this objectively, focus on measuring behaviours. Aside from questions that are specific to the position and your organisation, consider these attributes:

1. Initiative: Does the employee demonstrate ambition or take initiative to improve processes and products?
    
2. Ability to ask questions: Does the employee know when to ask questions rather than make assumptions?
    
3. Cooperation and teamwork: Is the employee flexible when asked to perform a task outside of their regular duties or work extra hours, particularly when the team is streched?
    
4. Productivity: Does the employee prioritise job duties effectively and meet deadlines?
    
5. Reliability: Does the employee consistently demonstrate dependability and competence?
    
6. Improvement: Has the employee improved in areas that were noted on their previous evaluation?
