Performance Reviews in the Workplace
Many supervisors step into leadership roles because of their strong performance and ability to guide others. Yet too often, they receive little training in managing the complex interpersonal dynamics that come with the job. One of the most common challenges? Performance reviews. These conversations don’t have to be dreaded—they can be powerful opportunities for growth, clarity, and collaboration. In this workshop, supervisors will learn practical strategies for giving feedback that is both honest and hopeful, addressing challenging behaviors with confidence, and clearly communicating expectations in a way that motivates staff toward success.
- Participants will learn key strategies for handling delicate situations.
- Participants will understand three elements to constructive feedback.
- Participants will develop skills in providing challenging feedback.
