Inclusive Performance Management
Learn how to apply an inclusive and equitable approach to performance management that strengthens fairness, development, and organizational effectiveness.
Learning Objectives
Explore how unconscious bias, systemic barriers, and identity-based differences can shape performance evaluations, feedback quality, and access to opportunities. Drawing on current data and real-world examples, leaders will gain insight into how inequities show up in both performance conversations and broader organizational practices.
