Performance Review Discussion Workshop for Employees
Workshop Summary
This two-hour workshop is designed to help you participate in the annual performance review discussion, in which your supervisor will formalize and summarize the performance feedback you’ve received throughout the year.
Annual performance review discussions can be an opportunity to clarify expectations and your contributions, and to strengthen working relationships. How your supervisor communicates is one part of the equation, but how you communicate is equally important. The way you articulate your needs, accomplishments and questions, along with your reaction to what your supervisor says, can have a big impact on the overall conversation.
Objectives:
- To clarify the elements of effective annual performance review discussions
- To provide tools and techniques that help you participate in these discussions positively and confidently
- To give you practice in applying what you’ve learned
Participants: This workshop is relevant for scientific and operations employees. Note that BLI also offers a Performance Review Discussion Workshop for Supervisors.
