Webinar: Balancing performance reviews-Feedback that avoids legal pitfalls
When done well, performance conversations help promote accountability and employee development and are legally compliant and defensible. When done poorly, they can lower employee morale and engagement and cause reputational damage. In addition, performance reviews that are legally noncompliant can expose an organization to legal risks, such as discrimination, retaliation or wrongful discharge claims.
In this 60- minute webinar, attorneys Giovanni Antonucci Di Cesare, Amy Epstein Gluck and Alejandro Perez, all with Pierson Ferdinand, explore the importance of having a fair and legally compliant performance review process from start to end. They cover setting nondiscriminatory performance standards, expectations and review criteria that are applied consistently across the organization, and the importance of proper documentation. They also discuss the importance of training managers to provide legally defensible detailed feedback to employees.
Attendees learn:
- Potential legal risks associated with performance conversations and how to mitigate them
- Strategies for consistently applying performance standards across teams
- Best practices for documentation that make performance reviews legally defensible
- And more!
