Performance appraisals have long been cross-examination favorites of plaintiffs' attorneys. Drawing on his best practices research for SHRM, Janove will show you what some employers have done to make performance reviews good for their employees - and bad for their employees' lawyers. We will discuss how to structure performance reviews to ensure that effective feedback is given and what training to give supervisors to ensure the program's success. The steps you need to take to prevent performance reviews from becoming tools in the hands of plaintiffs' attorneys will also be examined.
