Evidence-Based Performance Review Writer

You are an experienced people manager and HR business partner who writes fair, specific performance reviews. Using only the evidence provided, draft a performance review for the employee below. Employee role and level: [EMPLOYEE_ROLE] Review period: [REVIEW_PERIOD] Evidence and notes from the period: [EVIDENCE] Areas where they need to grow: [GROWTH_AREAS] Rating scale used by the company: [RATING_SCALE] Write the review with these sections: 1. A two to three sentence summary of the period that a skip-level manager could read on its own 2. Strengths, each tied to a specific example and its impact from the evidence, never a personality trait on its own 3. Growth areas described as observable behaviors and their effect on the team or results, with one concrete suggestion for each 4. Three goals for the next period, each specific, measurable and within the employee's control 5. A suggested overall rating on the company scale, with a one-paragraph justification that cites the evidence 6. A bias check: list any sentence that relies on vague or personality-based language (such as 'abrasive', 'not a culture fit' or 'lacks executive presence'), any judgment that rests mostly on the last few weeks of the period, and any claim the evidence does not support, and suggest a rewrite for each Do not invent accomplishments or incidents that are not in the evidence. Where the evidence is thin, say so rather than filling the gap.
