Business English Listening Comprehension – Performance Review Dialogue

A manager is giving feedback to an employee during a performance review. They discuss the employee’s accomplishments, areas for improvement, and goals for the future.

Manager: “Good morning, have a seat. I have your performance review ready. How are you feeling today?”

Employee: “Good morning, I’m a bit nervous, but I’m ready to hear your feedback.”

Manager: “There’s no need to be nervous. Your overall performance has been good, and you’ve made significant progress in your role. Let’s start by discussing your accomplishments this year.”

Employee: “I appreciate that. I’ve been working hard to improve my skills and contribute to the team.”

Manager: “I can see that. You’ve taken on more responsibilities and you’ve been successful in managing multiple projects. Your communication with other team members has also improved.”

Employee: “Thank you. I’ve been trying to be more proactive in sharing updates and collaborating with my colleagues.”

Manager: “That’s great. However, there are a few areas where you could improve. First, I notice that you sometimes struggle to meet deadlines. Can you tell me more about that?”

Employee: “Yes, I’ve noticed that as well. I think it’s because I tend to take on too much work at once, which makes it difficult to prioritize and complete tasks on time.”

Manager: “That’s a common issue. I suggest you work on your time management skills and learn to delegate tasks when necessary. Remember, it’s better to do a few things well than to do many things poorly.”

Employee: “That’s true. I’ll make an effort to manage my workload better and ask for help when I need it. Another area for improvement is my attention to detail. While I work efficiently, there have been instances where minor errors have slipped through.”

Manager: “I understand. I’ll make sure to double-check my work and ask a colleague to review it when necessary.”

Employee: “Good. Now let’s talk about your goals for the next year. What would you like to achieve?”

Manager: “I’d like to continue developing my project management skills and take on even more responsibilities. I also want to improve my presentation skills and become more comfortable speaking in front of groups.”

Employee: “Those are excellent goals. I can see you’re committed to your professional growth. I’ll make sure to provide you with opportunities to work on those skills.”

Manager: “Thank you. I’m looking forward to taking on new challenges and continuing to grow in my role.”

Employee: “I’m glad to hear that. We’ll have regular check-ins to discuss your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your goals or workload.”

Manager: “I appreciate your support and guidance. I believe that with your help, I’ll be able to make significant progress in the coming year.”

Employee: “I have no doubt about that. Keep up the good work and remember that communication is key. If you ever have concerns or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any other member of the management team.”

Manager: “Thank you, I will. I’m grateful for the feedback you’ve provided today, and I’m excited to continue working towards my goals.”

Employee: “You’re welcome. I’m confident that you’ll excel in your role, and I look forward to seeing your progress. Have a great day.”

Manager: “You too, thank you.”
