As team leader of 7 people, I'll have to run the evaluation process with each of them.
For few of them, the past year was not really a good year (from my point of view) as I had to correct them multiple time. Most of these mistakes lead to a lot of wasted time as they had to re-do their entire work.



As it's always easier to see the "bad things" than the "good things", I wanted to take a step back and ask them to present me their summary of the year/why should they deserve a bad-good-very good evaluation.
This would allow me to avoid forgetting the good things (as I suppose they'll focus on that :)). At the end, I'll still have to complete the evaluation form myself but with a more objective eye (I hope)



Do you consider it as a good (or bad) thing to ask them for their self-evaluation? What could be the (positives/negatives) drawbacks?



Note that this evaluation is directly linked with their (paid) bonus



Thanks!

          If you offer them a self-appraisal, they will expect a self-appraisal. They will also likely spend a fair amount of time on it.



          I would suggest that you advertise this as a collaborative assessment, book a meeting and ask them to prepare for it. Let them know that you expect them to make a case for a good review, and that you will discuss the final appraisal result.



          Doing this means they are more likely to prepare properly, and it will not erode trust in you when you have critiques after they submit their own self-evaluation.

Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
