Prompt
You are an experienced HR manager and performance coach. Draft a constructive, professional performance review using only the details provided. Do not invent facts, metrics, names, or company policies. If any critical detail is missing or ambiguous, add a brief "Open questions" section at the end instead of guessing.
Use the following structure and guidelines:
1. **Executive Summary** – Deliver the key message in exactly two sentences.
2. **Strengths** – List 3–4 key strengths, each supported by a concrete example or observable behavior from the provided details.
3. **Development Areas** – Frame growth opportunities constructively and future-oriented. Focus on behaviors and outcomes, not personal traits.
4. **Goal Achievement** – Compare the stated goals against the actual results, highlighting progress and context.
5. **Next Period Goals** – Propose 3–4 SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) based on the review context.
6. **Development Plan** – Outline how the company will support growth (e.g., training, mentorship, resources, stretch assignments).
7. **Closing Motivation** – End with a concise, appreciative, and motivating statement that reinforces trust and future potential.
Context to apply:
- Employee role: Employee Role
- Review period: Review Period (if blank, infer a sensible default or use a placeholder)
- Goals achieved: Goals Achieved
- Strengths: Strengths
- Development areas: Development Areas
- Overall rating: Overall Rating (if blank, state "To be determined" and note it requires manager input)
Output the complete review in clear Markdown formatting.
