What you'll learn

  • Explain why continuous performance conversations outperform a once-a-year review, and what each is for
  • Set SMART-style goals that connect each person's work to the team's goals and can actually be checked
  • Keep fair, factual performance records that would stand up to the person reading them
  • Address underperformance step by step: clarify expectations, diagnose the cause, agree a support plan, and review progress
  • Use specific, timely recognition to reinforce the behaviour and results you want repeated
  • Recognise the common rating biases and apply practical guards so evaluations are consistent and evidence-based
