Analysis

- You have over 100 reflections from over two dozen teammates in the past 200 day!

- While your score of 250 is quite impressive, there is some pronounced weakness around how peers and clients view you at work

- Peers in particular have started to sour on their view of your performance at work. Many of the recent reflections coming from peers are that you’re either working So-So, Not-well, or even “Terribly”.

- On the upside, your junior teammates are quite happy with you! Keep up the good work there!

Tips to Better Yourself

Below is some "food for thought" on how to do better at work! These typically address areas of your performance which your coworkers highlight as weaker.

You may have every intent to meet and exceed your workplace standards, and yet at the end of the day it feels as if you fall short.

Oftentimes the biggest barrier to reaching those goals you and your employer set are the goals themselves. They may be unclear, unreasonable, and unrelated to the work you're doing. It may be time to revisit your goals and  reframe them into SMART goals. That means they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This will help you focus on the tasks at hand and reach each goal.
