Performance Reviews: A Detailed Game Plan for Success

WHY ATTEND

Savvy managers understand that performance reviews need to be far more than annual one-way lectures about what employees need to do to get a raise. The problem is, they don’t know how to do it. Their intentions are good but they follow the same ill-fated path that has lead performance reviews to failure for decades because that’s the only way they know. They need a plan.

This webinar will address the most common mistakes managers make when planning, delivering, documenting and following up on performance review meetings. You’ll learn tips to help your organization’s leaders conduct reviews that energize employees, and motivate them to grow professionally so they deliver more value.
