Webinar Description:

As supervisors, managers, and directors, we know that we are supposed to complete an annual performance evaluation for each of our direct reports. The process has been declared a “must do” activity by many human resources (HR) and business leaders. Have you ever wondered why? This session will provide a brief history of how performance evaluations originated, an overview of the many different types of performance evaluation systems that exist, and some guidelines on how you can develop a performance evaluation system that works well in your work environment.
