How to Give Effective Performance Reviews

Turn Reviews Into a Tool for Growth – Not Just a Paper Trail

Performance reviews don’t have to be dreaded — when done right, they become powerful opportunities to strengthen your team, clarify expectations, and drive continuous improvement. In this dynamic, in‑person, three‑hour session, supervisors will learn how to transform performance evaluations into a structured, motivating, and results‑oriented process.

What You’ll Gain

  • Understand the True Purpose of Reviews: Gain clarity on the value and objectives behind performance evaluations so they aren’t just a checklist, but a strategic tool
  • Master Best Practices: Learn how to prepare, deliver, and follow up on reviews using proven frameworks, including goal setting, KPI alignment, documentation, and confidentiality
  • Handle Tough Conversations with Confidence: Equip yourself with techniques to navigate difficult feedback, identify performance gaps, and turn reviews into constructive dialogue — not confrontation
  • Drive Engagement & Improvement: Walk away with actionable strategies to build a culture where feedback leads to growth, alignment, and better business outcomes

Why It Matters

Too often, performance reviews are viewed as a formality — and both managers and employees dread them. That mindset leads to missed opportunities, broken trust, unclear expectations, and a lack of follow‑through. With this training, you’ll upgrade performance reviews from a dreaded annual event to a strategic tool that:

  • Builds stronger relationships and trust between supervisors and team members
  • Aligns individual performance with company goals
  • Encourages continuous improvement and accountability
  • Provides documentation and clarity that supports fairness and compliance

Who Should Attend

This training program is ideal for supervisors and team leaders, new leaders, HR professionals, and any manager or leader committed to creating a growth-focused, high-performing workplace culture

Secure Your Spot Now

Transform performance reviews into a catalyst for development, engagement, and stronger teams. Don’t let performance reviews become a dreaded annual task — empower your supervisors with the skills to make feedback a driving force for growth and improvement.

IMC’s How to Give Effective Performance Reviews is held as an open enrollment program and is also available for onsite delivery. To discuss having his training at your facility, contact IMC: info@imcpa.com | (800) 326-9467.
