Are Your Performance Reviews Actually Improving Performance? Hosted by Castle HR
October 15 at 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Most performance reviews show up too late, feel too vague, and do little to improve performance.
Join Tom Nickalls, Founder, Castle HR, an ACEC-Ontario Ally for a practical workshop on the 4×4 Performance Review, a simple quarterly rhythm built around four conversations: Right Person, Right Seat, Next Seat, and Wellness Check.
The goal is better feedback, stronger accountability, and fewer people issues landing back on your desk.
What You’ll Learn?
This practical session will introduce you to the 4×4 Performance Review, a quarterly approach designed to replace traditional annual performance reviews. You’ll learn how to help managers clarify expectations, address and coach performance issues earlier, retain and engage high performers, and build a stronger rhythm of accountability that can scale with your organization.
high performers, and build the accountability rhythm a high-performance team needs.
Why ACEC-Ontario Members Should Attend?
Strong teams are essential to the success of consulting engineering firms, but managing people effectively is a responsibility that extends well beyond engineering roles.
This session is relevant for business leaders, managers, team leads, HR professionals, operations professionals, and anyone responsible for managing or developing people within their organization.
Tom Nickalls, CEO, Castle HR
Tom is a two-time founder and currently leads Castle HR. His team helps companies with 20+ people go from founder-led to systems & processes.
After building and leading teams of 40+ people, Tom understands the moment when teams start missing goals they should be hitting because managers are winging it and performance issues are piling up, which causes payroll to grow faster than results. Castle HR solves that challenge by giving companies a Senior HR Pro and a proven HR Roadmap to help managers lead, teams perform, and founders avoid burnout.
Outside of work, Tom is usually chasing a lower handicap on the golf course, experimenting on the stove/BBQ as an amateur chef, or spending as much of the Canadian winter as possible in Mexico.
