Live Webinar: Why Performance Evaluations & Effective Feedback Matter
2023-06-15 13:00 - 14:00
Let’s face it. Performance evaluations can be awkward, dreaded even – both for the reviewer and the reviewee.
But – if done well, fairly and objectively, they can:
-give employees actionable feedback
-make employees more engaged
-set clear expectations for performance going forward
-create well-defined goals for the next review period
-give employers the documentation they need to justify pay adjustments
Join us on Thursday, June 15th at 1pm EST, as we cover performance management topics that will help make your performance reviews more effective for both employer and employee.
