Employee Self-Assessment Form

Streamline Annual Performance Reviews with Paperform

Annual performance reviews are a critical touchpoint for employee development, alignment and engagement—but the self-assessment process can often feel scattered across email threads, Word docs and manual collation. This Employee Self-Assessment Form template brings structure and clarity to the review cycle, helping HR teams and managers collect thoughtful, consistent feedback directly from employees in a format that's easy to review, compare and action.

Built for HR professionals, people managers and growing teams, this template guides employees through a clear reflection on their accomplishments, strengths, development areas and future aspirations. Instead of starting from a blank page, employees can work through targeted prompts that encourage meaningful self-evaluation—documenting wins, identifying growth opportunities and setting clear career objectives for the year ahead.

How Paperform simplifies performance management

Paperform's doc-style editor makes it easy to customise this template to match your company's competency framework, values or review criteria. You can add conditional logic to show different questions based on role, tenure or department, and use calculation fields to support scoring or weighted evaluations if your process requires it.

Once submitted, responses flow into a clean dashboard where HR and managers can review, export or share feedback ahead of face-to-face review meetings. You can also integrate with tools like BambooHR, Lattice, Google Sheets or your HRIS via Stepper to keep performance data synced and trigger follow-up workflows—like scheduling one-on-ones, assigning development plans or sending reminders for manager reviews.
