Preparing for the Self-Review

With getworkrecognized, you cannot just track your work achievements but also organize them to bring them to the perfect Self-Review. When taking notes you might just focus on the individual activity. A lot of metadata of the bigger picture is lost though, so you either need to write it down collectively in the note which is causing a huge amount of work when writing notes down. getworkrecognized believes in the easy and simple work upfront, so we introduced a process to prepare your notes for the Self-Review.

Organizing your Notes

Notes are written down and forgotten. getworkrecognized is based around Leadership Principles. When you create a new note you can select a Leadership Principle. This will help you in the long-term to organize the notes. In the getworkrecognized application, the notes are displayed with a special tab view to switch between the principles and work on grouping the notes later on to reorganize them.

Grouping Notes

As you can see in the previous example some notes are written about the same topic:

• Created newsletter week 16
• Created newsletter week 18
• Created newsletter week 21
• Created newsletter week 55

It does not make sense to list all of the individual notes in the final Self-Review. It would make the reader feel unmotivated to read your Self-Review, so getworkrecognized is providing a solution to grouping the Notes you have taken.

Describing the Grouped Notes

getworkrecognized can help you by adding these notes to a group and describing them with the "Situation - Behavior - Impact" methodology. This methodology will bring the individual notes together and will let them organize better. It will give the reader of the Self-Review a better feeling to read something like "Created 4 Newsletters for the time" rather than seeing the same note several times.

With the grouping and sorting in mind getworkrecognized can support you in actually organizing the perfect Performance Review for you.
