Employee performance review templates.

Learn how to build an employee review template PDF. Help motivate and engage with employees while making your business a more efficient workplace.

Instead of creating a new employee performance review from scratch for every employee, you can save time and energy using a template. Then, it’s simple to fill in the blank spaces on the template whenever an employee needs a review.

What to include in an employee review template PDF.

There are dozens of employee performance review templates out there. While they all might review different aspects — since no two jobs are alike — your template should include at least the following information:

• Employee name and position
• Reviewer’s name and title
• Review date
• Clear rating system
• Written comments section
• Signature spaces for both the reviewer and employee

Once you create your template, it’s a good idea to save it as a PDF. As a PDF, you can send performance reviews to employees electronically without worrying about formatting issues.

Sign off on employee reviews digitally.

When it comes to employee reviews, you want everything to go as smoothly as possible. If your company has many employees, it takes time to print and collect all those reviews. Simplify the process by electronically sending and signing reviews.

Signatures are a significant part of an employee performance review. It signifies that both the employee and the reviewer have read and understood the information. But just because you need signatures from everyone doesn’t mean you have to fight printers and scanners.

To make the process even simpler, add signatures to PDFs with Adobe Acrobat’s e-signature capabilities. With just a click of a button, you and your employees can add legal signatures that will keep your business running smoothly.
