Who it's for
This Employee Performance Checklist is for teams that want consistent execution, less rework, and clear ownership.
- Standardize quality - run the same Employee Performance steps every time, regardless of who executes
- Save time - reuse a proven Employee Performance workflow instead of rebuilding processes from scratch
- Improve accountability - assign owners and see what's done vs. what's pending
- Onboard faster - use the Employee Performance checklist as the SOP and training guide
- Coordinate across roles - handoffs are clear and everyone works from the same source of truth
How to use it
How to use this Employee Performance Checklist:
- Start by saving it - save as a Template if you'll reuse it, or as a Checklist if it's a one-off project.
- Customize it once for your workflow - remove what doesn't apply and add your team-specific steps.
- Assign ownership and execute - set owners/due dates where needed and track completion as work happens.
- Reuse without rebuilding - when Employee Performance comes up again, start from your saved version and run it with clear ownership.
