How can you ensure your EPR reflects your performance?

• A. Maintain consistent performance, document achievements, communicate with your supervisor, and request feedback.
• B. Take a single performance snapshot at year-end.
• C. Rely on supervisor efforts alone.
• D. Ignore feedback and proceed.

Answer: (D)

Ensuring your EPR reflects your performance comes from proactive, ongoing performance management throughout the rating period. Keep your performance steady, gather concrete evidence of achievements as they happen, and regularly discuss progress with your supervisor. Actively seek feedback so you know what’s being documented and where to highlight strengths, improvements, and contributions. This approach creates a complete, accurate record that shows not only the results you delivered but how you developed, led, or supported the mission over time.

A single performance snapshot at year-end can miss the steady effort, improvements, and broader impact you’ve demonstrated. Relying on your supervisor’s efforts alone leaves gaps in your own record, and ignoring feedback stops you from aligning what’s documented with your true performance. By staying engaged, documenting tangible outcomes, and inviting ongoing feedback, you help ensure the EPR truly reflects your performance and supports your career progression.
