So if you were to provide performance assessment and you know a person is a low performer, would you be kind and give good feedback or be fair

Hmmmmm....yea I’d still be honest, but in a way that doesn’t crush them. You don’t wanna sugarcoat and make it unfair for the people who are really performing, but you also don’t have to be harsh. I'd give honest feedback, but deliver it constructively. Recognize any strengths they do have, point out where they’re falling short, and clearly explain what they can do to improve. So basically...fair with the feedback, kind with the delivery. Something that will help them grow.

Kindness is in the tone, fairness is in the content.

I always gave honest feedback and worked with the low performer to see what we could do to help them improve. I don't remember ever having anyone who failed to do better on the next performance review.

Be fair and honest.

Room for improvement, is a term we use a lot for assessments at my work.

I have one that I have to write in a couple of weeks

low performer - I'm going to be honest.

I don't think we should retain her but it's early days.

I would try to be kind and give constructive feedback. I wouldn’t lie to them, but I would offer it with the encouragement that I felt they could make some improvements, and would offer to help.

Iwould say..."Meeds Improvement"

Be tactful but honest, perhaps some guidance to help them improve their performance

I would be fair, generally

Be fair
