This program explains everything you need to know to conduct effective performance reviews that appreciate, engage, & ultimately help employees grow.
People Leaders/Managers
MANAGEMENT
Virtual or In-Person
Just last year, HR flagged managers who checked the box with one-line reviews like “Good job.” Now, AI-generated reviews are polished but generic, leaving employees wondering, “Did my manager even write this?”
Employees place high priority on their ongoing development and advancement, and a key piece of career development is receiving timely, thoughtful, and honest feedback. This session equips managers to prepare and personalize reviews, structure meaningful conversations, and handle tricky moments with confidence. Participants learn to give constructive feedback, practice critical conversations through scenarios, and turn every performance discussion into a real opportunity for coaching and career growth.
