Document background
The 6 Month Performance Review is a standard human resources document used across United States organizations to formally evaluate employee performance during or after their first six months of employment. This document is particularly crucial for new hires completing their initial evaluation period, employees in new roles, or as part of regular bi-annual reviews. It provides a structured framework for assessing performance against predetermined objectives, documenting achievements, identifying development needs, and setting future goals. The review process must comply with federal and state employment laws, including anti-discrimination provisions and record-keeping requirements. The document typically includes quantitative and qualitative assessments, competency evaluations, and specific examples of performance, serving as both a developmental tool and a legal record of performance management.
