Managers have a duty to provide feedback to their team members so they can improve their performance. In this training, we focus on the management mindsets that mitigate bias in reviews, practical advice on how to isolate and write about performance issues in reviews and how to have high-trust performance review conversations.
Note: this workshop is open to staff only.
