Document background
The Year End Performance Review document is a crucial tool in Dutch employment relationships, designed to formally evaluate and document employee performance on an annual basis. It is required under Dutch employment law principles of fair treatment and transparent performance management. The document should be used at the end of each review period (typically annually) to assess employee achievements, discuss development opportunities, and set future goals. It includes sections for both objective performance metrics and subjective competency evaluations, ensuring compliance with Dutch privacy laws and GDPR requirements. This document forms part of the employee's official employment record and can be relevant for career development, compensation decisions, and legal compliance purposes. In the Netherlands, such reviews often incorporate input from various stakeholders and may need to align with works council agreements where applicable.
