Strength-Based Progress Reviews: Take the Pain Out of the Annual Performance Appraisal Process
Take the pain out of performance review time with a strength-based approach. In this session, you will learn and practice a tangible and digestible approach to engaging employees through meaningful conversations. 80% of employees who said they received meaningful feedback in the past week were fully engaged.

Learning Objectives:
- Introduce five types of performance conversations.
- Learn best practices for effectively discussing performance with employees.
- Discuss how to celebrate and hold accountability.
- Learn how to set SMART, aligned goals.
- Practice having a performance conversation.
