End of Year Appraisal - 23rd May

When it comes to the end of the year (based on the financial year, which ends on the last day of May), each employee at Panasonic is given an appraisal by their immediate superior.

My line manager, Sara, sat down with me and went through the targets we had both agreed on earlier in the year and had a general chat about how I thought things had been going. We both agreed that I still need to work on my proactiveness (I try my darnedest!) and maybe need to speak up a little more, but I had, in general, achieved my targets, which were as follows:


  • To distribute all awards within 24 hours

  • To collect all overdue product samples within 2 weeks

As I had achieved these targets, I was given my bonus - brilliant!


The appraisal was a great opportunity to get feedback on my performance and, over the year, I've felt that my team have been amazing at giving me constructive feedback and advice and helping me to grow professionally.


Even if your company does not have a policy whereby it holds appraisal meetings, make sure you sit down with your manager or someone in your team to get some feedback on your performance - there really is nothing to lose and everything to gain!
