Most of my colleagues hate the annual appraisal. They're afraid of criticism and worried about what sort of information will go on their file - so they can't see the value of the whole thing. Not me. I've just had my latest interview, and I spent weeks planning it. Promotion is awarded according to a points system in my firm, but there's room for manoeuvre, and the appraisal is an opportunity to work your way onto the next step up the ladder.

我的大多數(shù)同事都討厭年度考核。他們害怕批評，擔(dān)心文件里會有什么樣的信息——所以他們看不到整件事的價值。我不是這樣的。我最近剛剛進(jìn)行了一次面談，我花了好幾周的時間來計劃。在我的公司，晉升是根據(jù)計分制度來決定的，但還有回旋的余地，而考評是一個讓你一步步往上爬的機會。

I'm a line manager, and I've just carried out the latest lot of appraisals for my staff. It's very time-consuming and difficult for me. I get on well with my team, and I don't want to spoil my relationship with them by saying the wrong thing. But nobody's perfect, and the appraisals have improved productivity by getting people to do something about their weaknesses. Constructive criticism is the key, but finding the right words is a problem.

我是直屬經(jīng)理，我剛剛對我的員工進(jìn)行了最新的評估。這對我來說既費時又困難。我和我的團(tuán)隊相處得很好，我不想因為說錯話而破壞和他們的關(guān)系。但沒有人是完美的，而評估通過讓人們對自己的弱點采取措施，提高生產(chǎn)率。建設(shè)性的批評是關(guān)鍵，但找到合適的詞有點困難。
