Performance Reviews Don’t Have to Suck: Learning Can Fix Them
Corporate learning and performance management often come with a bad reputation. Learning programs are seen as check-the-box activities, rarely translating into real-world skills. And performance reviews are seen as an annual practice in pointless paperwork with no tangible outcomes for employees. But what if you could connect learning and performance to address skill gaps and drive a measurable impact on business results?
Join Keith Metcalfe, president at Acorn PLMS, for a dynamic talk where he’ll show you how to do just that. From getting leadership buy-in to real conversations with learners, this session is a crash course on fixing the typical, ineffective performance review cycle.
In this interactive session, you’ll walk away with actionable insights on how to:
- Gain leadership support to integrate learning and performance within your organization.
- Identify, assess, and close critical skills gaps to achieve business-critical goals.
- Leverage data from connected learning and performance programs to make strategic decisions.
- Use the latest in artificial intelligence to take the guesswork out of building competency frameworks.
