Performance reviews are more than an annual requirement—they are one of the most impactful opportunities supervisors have to connect with their employees, reinforce expectations, and support ongoing development.

To support our supervisors in this critical responsibility, HR has launched a new self-directed learning path in My Learning Connection:

Delivering a Performance Review: A Guide for Managers

This learning path is powered by LinkedIn Learning and is designed specifically to help supervisors navigate the full performance review process—from preparation to follow-up—with confidence and clarity.

Through a curated series of short, expert-led modules, participants will explore practical strategies to:

• Prepare for meaningful one-on-one performance conversations
• Deliver balanced, constructive feedback
• Navigate challenging or emotional responses
• Apply coaching techniques to support employee growth
• Set clear, actionable goals and build accountability within their teams

The content is organized into key areas such as preparing for the review, harnessing the power of coaching, building a culture of accountability, and developing high-performing teams—providing a well-rounded approach to performance management.

With a total runtime of just under 90 minutes, this flexible, self-paced learning experience allows supervisors to engage with the material when it works best for their schedule while immediately applying what they learn in their day-to-day leadership practices.

This learning path aligns with the Lead Others track within the MSU LEAD framework, reinforcing core competencies such as communication, coaching, and performance management.

If you have questions about this learning path or other supervisor development opportunities, send an email to hrlearning@missouristate.edu or hrperformance@missouristate.edu. We are here to support your success.
