An Amelio self-assessment is not an exercise where employees are expected to rate themselves. ❌
It is a moment to pause, reflect, and better understand what they are experiencing in their work.
What makes it powerful is that it first creates clarity for the employee.
Even before meeting with their manager, employees have the opportunity to put words to what supports them, what slows them down, what they would like to develop, and what gives them momentum.
What questions does a self-assessment help answer?
A self-assessment helps employees reflect on questions such as:
What do I need right now?
What gives me energy?
What slows me down?
What would I like to improve or evolve?
What would I like to better understand about myself?
What matters most to me moving forward?
The goal is not to produce the “right answer”, but to encourage a more thoughtful and honest reflection.
