WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Employee performance reviews have come under fire in recent years. Traditional employee appraisal processes have been causing both managers and employees headaches. 

A performance review is a two-way, one-on-one conversation between a manager and an employee about the impact of performance, development, and growth. It is an essential component of a company's overall performance management strategy. They can engage and motivate employees to maximize and align their efforts if done correctly. When done incorrectly, they can lead to employee disengagement and even lower performance.

Organizations will struggle to achieve important goals and objectives if their employees are not aligned and on a clear path to success. Managers can use performance conversations to connect employees to the organization's larger mission and goals. They also provide organizations with the information they need to make critical people decisions such as compensation, promotions, development, role changes, exits, and more.
