We suggest that supervisors review the employee s Self-Evaluation prior to completing the Supervisor Evaluation. Self-Evaluations are a great way to see your employee s performance from their perspective. They should be used as a tool to enhance communication and recognize any areas of interest that should be reviewed. 14
