TOPIC: The Performance Review Journey

What the heck is going on with performance reviews these days?  Are highly-functional organizations conducting formal reviews with their employees or have they evolved to cultures of “constant feedback?”  Come join us to hear from other HR Executives about:

•     What they are doing in their organizations today
•     The journey they have been on related to performance reviews 
•      What they have learned along the way. 

This will be an opportunity to have an interactive discussion about reviews, and the value they bring to employees and organizations.
