What this performance appraisal course covers

This performance appraisal course is part of HCMI's certification path and teaches you to run performance reviews that actually improve performance, not just satisfy a compliance checklist.

  • Why most performance appraisals fail

    Understand the common failure modes of performance appraisal systems: recency bias, rating inflation, and reviews that feel like a once-a-year surprise instead of an ongoing conversation. Learn how to design an appraisal process that managers and employees both trust.

  • Building a fair, effective appraisal process

    Learn practical appraisal methods including 360-degree feedback and goal-based reviews, how to write ratings that hold up if challenged, and how to train managers to deliver feedback that actually changes behavior instead of just documenting the past year.

  • Who this course is for

    Built for HR professionals and people managers responsible for running or redesigning a performance review process. Useful whether you are fixing a broken annual review cycle or building one from scratch.
