Inclusive Feedback and Performance Conversations

Problem to solve

Subjective standards, unequal access to feedback and different communication expectations can mean performance conversations reward familiarity instead of contribution.

FAIRER perspective

Fair performance management is about transparent expectations, evidence-based judgements and equitable access to development.

Session summary

This booster equips managers to spot vague or biased assessments, give specific and constructive feedback and explore differences in communication needs without lowering standards. Participants rework a sample feedback conversation and leave with a fairness checklist for reviews and ongoing coaching.

Preview our insights

In this short video, FAIRER Managing Director Dan Robertson explores how bias can influence performance reviews and shape the way we assess people’s contributions, potential and progress.

It’s a preview of the thinking explored in our one-hour training session – from recognising the assumptions that affect our judgements to giving more inclusive feedback and creating fairer performance review processes.
