Ask the Expert: How Should I Redesign My Performance Management Processes to Mitigate Biases?

64% of leaders believe that in-office employees are higher performers, but Gartner research indicates that remote employees are 1.7x more likely to be high performers than their onsite peers. While many organizations seek to close this gap by boosting awareness, perhaps through unconscious bias training, this has no significant impact on bias in performance management. Join this highly interactive session where you can ask a Gartner expert your most pressing questions for redesigning performance management processes (from goal setting to calibration) to address the pervasive risk of unchecked biases.

Join this session with a Gartner expert to learn about the different levels of wellbeing maturity – from program design, to communication, preventative tactics, measurement, and management.
