Session Description

Recognition and feedback only drive performance when they're delivered consistently, specifically, and in a way that builds trust.

As organizations head into mid-year reviews and performance conversations, many People leaders face a common challenge: ensuring managers have the skills, confidence, and frameworks to deliver meaningful feedback while creating a consistent employee experience across teams.

In this interactive session, we'll explore how leading organizations are strengthening manager effectiveness through better recognition and feedback practices. Drawing on ThinkHuman's Make it Safe / Make it Actionable framework, we'll discuss practical approaches to embedding recognition into performance conversations, increasing manager accountability, and creating more equitable employee experiences.

Key Topics: 

- Learn how to use the Make it Safe / Make it Actionable framework to improve the quality and impact of manager feedback.
- Explore ways to integrate recognition into performance reviews and ongoing development conversations.
- Discover strategies for building manager accountability and encouraging consistent recognition habits.
- Understand how organizations are creating more equitable and standardized recognition and feedback experiences across teams.
- Identify practical steps to strengthen trust, engagement, and performance through everyday manager interactions.
