What do you think about our performance review system?

I think it's better to simplify them. There are so many questions to answer that employees might be getting bored to complete it.

自然な表現

I think it's better to simplify it. There are so many questions to answer that employees may get bored when completing it.

1. The singular form should be used as it refers to the singular noun "System". It says in Section #1 - Our performance review system.
2. The ~ing form is rather inaccurate because it is not an ongoing activity, you are only stating the high probability of them getting bored.
3. When completing it = Throughout the entire process of it. By using ~ing, we focus on the duration in this case.

I'm not exactly sure how we can do that but it would be great if it can be simplified. How can that be done?

To begin with, how long in advance should we submit our evaluation report? Now, we ask employees to submit them two weeks before the end of year. Is it possible to move the deadline forward?

自然な表現

Firstly, how far in advance should we submit our evaluation report? Now, we ask employees to submit it two weeks before the end of the year. Is it possible to move the deadline up?

1. I don't recommend the use of "To begin with" here because it is followed by a question instead of specific information or instruction.
2. "far" would be more appropriate when discussing timeframes such as a deadline in this case.
3. The singular form should be used as it refers to the singular noun "Report". As you mentioned - Our evaluation report.
* Otherwise, you could use a more specific word choice such as "their reports". Each employee submits a report. The number of reports is equal to that of employees.
4. "the" is needed as it refers to a specific year which is the current year.
5. I believe you mean you want to make the deadline earlier or shorter. In that case, the idiomatic expression would be Move Up.

I think two weeks before the end of the year makes sense because they do reviews at the start of the year, right?

Yes, they do. However, I think the amount of writing is too much. The end of year is so busy that they don't have enough mental room to write it.

自然な表現

Yes, they do. However, I think the amount of writing is too much. The end of the year is so busy that they don't have enough mental energy to complete it.

1. "the" is needed as it refers to one specific year which is the current year.
2. I understand what you mean. Here is a better word choice to convey the right message.
3. To be more precise because you expect them to finish the report. They can write it but the writing is excessive, so completion may be delayed.

I think you must start to prepare your evaluation report way before the two weeks deadline. You do it nice and slow and have it ready by the time they ask for it you will be ready. Is that not a good idea?

I'm little confused about your proposal. Could you give me a more detailed explanation?

自然な表現

I'm a little confused about your proposal. Could you give me a more detailed explanation?

1. Unless this is followed by a noun, then "a" is required to finish off your target expression. For example, I'm a little hungry, She's a little nervous, He has little knowledge of finance, etc.
2. Another alternative that you could consider is - Provide me with.

Sure, what I meant is that instead of waiting until the two weeks deadline to start writing the evaluation report, employees should start working on it earlier in the year, say around mid-year. This can help reduce the stress and workload that comes with completing the report in a rush toward the end of the year. Does that make more sense?

Thank you for your polite explanation. It should be another option. We might classify the measure depending on the department.

自然な表現

Thank you for your polite explanation. We could implement that measure as another option depending on the department.

1. Are the "option" and "measure" related to the suggestion given in Section #9? This means the measure is another option.
* If yes, I suggest using "that" to directly point that out. You could combine the last two sentences into one to make your statement clearer and more concise.
* If no, then I suggest rephrasing the two sentences for better clarity. Here is an idea - That could be another option. We should implement a measure that best suits each department.
