【例文付き】パフォーマンスレビュー時に活躍する英語表現と英単語


社員や部下の日々の仕事ぶりや業績を評価する査定のことを、英語ではパフォーマンスレビュー(performance review)と言います。日本でも、外資系企業にお勤めの方なら馴染みのある言葉かもしれません。

外資系企業以外にも外国籍の社員が多く働く企業にお勤めで、あなたが社員の評価をする立場なら、パフォーマンスレビューで使われる表現を知っておくことは必須と言えるでしょう。なぜなら、常にプロフェッショナルな英語を用いて社員の仕事ぶりを明確に評価したり、モチベーションを下げることなく改善を求める必要があるからです。

そこで今回は、パフォーマンスレビューの際に使える英語表現や英単語を例文付きでご紹介していきます。

Well, it can be just as difficult if you’re the person reviewing someone’s job performance. You have to make sure you’re clear and professional. You can’t be too negative, but you have to be honest if improvements are needed.
