Exclusively reported last month in HRreview, November will see Toronto-based entrepreneur and Dragon, Bruce Croxon, join a panel of HR leaders to discuss and debate recent developments in performance review and employee evaluation software.
Over 200 HR professionals will be in attendance to hear insights and exchange ideas around Why do you do a performance review?
The event, to be held at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Toronto, is expected to be a sell out – with a rush anticipated from Toronto-based HR professionals keen to hear from Bruce Croxon, SpriggHR Director and HRreview contributor Jilaine Parkes and well-known employment law expert Steve Mendellsohnn.
Jilaine Parkes said of the need for performance reviews: “There’s been a lot of talk lately about the performance review – ranging from the approach with today’s generation, redesigning the process or taking it online and even getting rid of it altogether!”
It is hoped that the evening event will help demonstrate the key role of online HR technology in today’s workplace and the time and cost savings that accompany it.
