Performance reviews influence compensation decisions, employee development, and organizational performance, yet many organizations continue to struggle with inconsistent ratings, ineffective calibration discussions, and goals that fail to drive accountability.

This session examines the full performance review cycle, from establishing meaningful goals through calibration and performance-based pay decisions. Attendees will explore practical approaches for improving rating consistency, facilitating more effective calibration discussions, and strengthening the connection between organizational priorities and individual performance expectations.

Through examples and discussion, participants will examine common challenges that arise throughout the performance cycle and identify strategies for creating a process that is more consistent, transparent, and aligned with business objectives.

Attendees will leave with practical ideas for improving performance management practices, supporting more equitable pay decisions, and helping managers navigate performance conversations with greater confidence.
