Calibrations and Performance Management to Increase Talent Density
A roundtable at SFELC Annual 2024 on improving calibration quality, upholding a high bar, and building transparent career frameworks.
Increasing talent density is at the top of every engineering organization’s mind. This roundtable at SFELC Annual 2024 explored how to leverage the “wisdom of crowds” to improve calibrations and performance management — upholding a high bar while increasing signal quality and fairness.
Topics covered:
- Using calibration sessions to surface and reduce bias
- Establishing a transparent Career Framework that teams can anchor on
- Writing stronger calibration documents grounded in outcomes, not activity
- Personal growth plans and performance improvement plans that actually work
- Building stakeholder feedback loops that improve signal quality
