Preparing Performance Reviews - Part 2 - HOF 2023

Manager Tools ·

2023/11/13

It's the end of the year. Most managers we know are thinking about the holidays... and annual reviews. After years of managing, training and consulting, we've concluded this is one of the most poorly managed and implemented processes we're aware of.
