5. Delivering a Performance Review: A Guide for Managers – 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
