A manager’s guide to performance calibration

Improving performance reviews through calibration
May 16, 2022

Has your performance calibration process turned toxic?

A performance calibration is any process in which managers come together to compare employee performance against each other to drive consistency across a team, an org, or a company.

In an ideal world, performance calibrations can be an incredibly helpful tool. They can help to make sure people are being treated fairly across the company. They can also give new managers a feel for what the bar is for each level. They provide a way for managers to collaborate on how best to approach delivering performance reviews. And they can help catch potential mistakes, especially when folks are being underrated.
