Companies strive for employee engagement, high performance, and retention—yet many fall short. Why? Because 80% of employees who are below or meet expectations believe they exceed them.

This interactive class equips HR professionals with a practical, easy-to-use template to replace traditional performance appraisals, which managers dislike giving and employees dread receiving. Participants will learn how to establish clear, actionable job expectations that define what it means to exceed, meet, or fall short in a role.

This method enhances interviewing, onboarding, feedback, and career development by shifting the focus from past performance to future success. Rather than looking backward with appraisals, job expectations create a forward-looking framework that empowers employees to grow, excel, and drive the company's success.

With more than 30 years of experience, she has supported HR professionals, executives, and frontline leaders across industries - bringing clarity, consistency, and practical tools to the employee experience.
