Learning Objective

  • Explain the importance of a carefully researched, planned, and fair annual, mid-year, or quarterly review.
  • Review the importance of creating a positive atmosphere to support collaboration and open communication.
  • Explain best practices for holding a two-way conversation where managers seek input from the employee to determine the next steps and future goals better.
  • Reduce barriers to giving both positive and constructive feedback throughout the year and at review time.
  • Discuss methods for documenting performance behavior before, during, and after the annual review.
  • Emphasize the importance of having a mutually agreed-upon performance rating scale for consistent and collaborative evaluations.

Course Overview

Performance reviews are a cornerstone of effective management and critical to supporting employees' career growth and satisfaction. A well-executed review not only boosts individual productivity but also fosters innovation and personal development across teams. As employee expectations shift, with many desiring more feedback, role clarity, and growth opportunities, the performance review process must evolve to address these needs.

This CPE Course delves into best practices for transforming traditional reviews into collaborative, future-focused conversations. Moving beyond solely assessing past performance, we'll explore how to align reviews with forward-looking goals and meaningful metrics, integrating insights from a range of sources, including peers and customers, to ensure a more comprehensive evaluation. Participants will learn practical methods for setting clear expectations and providing balanced, constructive feedback that guides employees toward their professional goals.

Key Topics:

  • Review Preparation
  • Feedback Techniques
  • Goal Alignment
  • Career Development

By the end of this course, attendees will be equipped with the skills to confidently prepare, deliver, and follow up on reviews that drive real growth and engagement. Managers will also gain actionable tips for supporting employee development, helping them envision their potential and establish clear paths for advancement.
