Document background
The Performance Review Manager Feedback document serves as a critical tool in the formal performance management process within Australian organizations. It is designed to be used by managers when conducting periodic (typically annual or bi-annual) performance reviews of their direct reports. The document ensures compliance with Australian workplace laws, including the Fair Work Act 2009, Privacy Act 1988, and various anti-discrimination legislation. It provides a standardized approach to documenting employee performance, setting objectives, and planning development activities while maintaining proper records for HR purposes. This document is particularly important in establishing clear communication channels between managers and employees, supporting fair performance assessment practices, and creating documented evidence of performance discussions that may be required for future reference or legal compliance.
