Annual reviews. Rating scales. Cascading goals. For decades, these have formed the backbone of performance management. But are they genuinely improving performance – or simply creating more administration?
Employees often dread the process, managers struggle to make the conversations meaningful, and HR teams can spend months coordinating forms, deadlines, and ratings. Despite the time and effort involved, many organisations still find it difficult to demonstrate a clear link between traditional performance management and better performance outcomes.
Join us for a candid panel discussion with HR leaders and organisational psychologists as we challenge the status quo and explore whether there is a better way to support performance, development, and accountability.

Why Attend?
Traditional performance management can consume significant time and energy without delivering the clarity, development, or performance improvement organisations expect. This panel discussion creates space to question established practices and examine what may be needed instead.
You will hear candid insights from experienced HR leaders and organisational psychologists, explore different perspectives, and consider how performance management could become more practical, relevant, and valuable for everyone involved.
Whether you are leading a major process review, managing performance conversations yourself, or simply questioning whether the current model works, this conversation will give you fresh perspectives and practical questions to take back to your organisation.
