Document background
The Self Appraisal Form is a fundamental tool in modern performance management systems, designed to comply with Austrian labor laws and GDPR requirements. It is typically used prior to formal performance reviews, allowing employees to reflect on and document their achievements, challenges, and development needs over a specific period. The document captures essential information about work performance, goal achievement, and professional development aspirations, serving as a basis for constructive dialogue between employees and managers. This form is particularly important in Austrian workplace contexts, where employee participation in the evaluation process is emphasized, and works councils often play a role in overseeing performance assessment systems. The self-appraisal process supports transparent performance evaluation while maintaining compliance with local employment regulations and data protection requirements.
