About Performance Conversations

 "The goal of coaching and feedback is to help employees be their best."

- Pamela Harding , sHRBP,SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CEO, HR Executive

  
Few things are quite difficult for managers and employees as their performance conversations. 


How managers approach the discussion and how direct reports understand the feedback given, can be challenging and may have different outcomes.
 
An issue is when an employee has a perception that’s different from reality. In such situation managers must bridge the gaps between the reality and employee's own perception.


As a first step managers must do a good planning for their upcoming performance feedback conversation with direct reports. A THOUGHTFUL conversation helps to engage direct reports in discussions that will help them arrive at deeper understanding of their performance gaps and improvement opportunities. 


Managers must engage direct reports in CONSTRUCTIVE discussions as a way to maximize their understanding of expected performance. It is crucial that managers communicate a way that will cut through any defense and on top of all it will INSPIRE them to perform their best in the future.
