Putting the Fun Back in Performance Reviews (No, Really.)
August 5, 1 PM EDT

For many leaders, the performance review process has been so institutionalized that it no longer brings value to the leader or the employee. Performance reviews become viewed as a task that just takes up time or as simply a method for "documenting" poor behavior or "justifying" a raise. So, we come to dread them instead of viewing them as what they could be: meaningful growth conversations.

In this webinar, leaders will learn how to maximize the performance review process by making it a conversation that is productive and beneficial for both the leader and the employee.

Following this webinar, attendees will:

  • Take steps to prepare themselves and their employees before the review
  • Turn routine performance reviews into conversations focused on the employee's growth
  • Provide feedback with care and candor
  • Leave the webinar with a sample performance review guide that spurs in-depth conversations and gets results
