Frequently asked questions

How is a manager’s performance evaluated?+

On business results delivered by the team plus people leadership: hiring, coaching, retention, fair reviews, communication and policy compliance.

Should team feedback be part of a manager review?+

Who reviews a manager?+

Usually the manager’s own reporting manager or business head, with HR facilitating and calibrating ratings.
