Preparing Performance Reviews - HOF 2024

This co-hosted podcast offers practical advice for managers on conducting effective performance reviews. The podcast is structured in three parts: collecting data (from job descriptions, employee performance, self-appraisals, and organizational data), evaluating data (considering common evaluation errors like the halo effect and ensuring objective assessment), and writing the review (using the SEER or SUMX techniques for concise and impactful writing). The hosts emphasize the importance of using objective data to support evaluations and avoiding the common mistake of inflating reviews to protect employees. Listeners can immediately begin preparing by securing a review location and requesting self-appraisals from their team members before the holiday season.
