Performance Calibration & Review Season Toolkit

Writing evidence-based reviews, preparing for a calibration meeting, and a companion worksheet with a built-in rating-distribution check.

Review season has two distinct challenges: writing a review that's specific and evidence-based rather than vague, and holding your own in a calibration meeting where ratings get compared and adjusted against other managers' teams. This toolkit covers both — tying review writing back to a documentation habit, naming common calibration biases like recency and leniency bias, and giving you language for advocating for your people with evidence. The companion worksheet flags if your draft ratings are clustering suspiciously in the middle before you walk into calibration. Instant digital download.
