Join Marie Krebs and Adam Horne for our next Tough Conversations LinkedIn Live event they'll be talking about how HR can help managers survive performance review season—both practically and emotionally. Get answers to difficult questions like: - How can HR prepare managers to give tough performance reviews? - What processes can HR put in place to set managers up for success? - How do you resolve disagreements about pay rises between managers and leadership? - What should you do if an employee doesn’t agree with their performance review—and comes to HR to complain? #PerformanceReviews #EmployeeWellbeing #Managers

Psychological safety is a bigger topic than ever. But if you're leading a remote team: how do you create it from a distance? Join us for a Tough Conversations Live event on this topic with a top thought leader in this space: Barbara Matthews, Chief People Officer at Remote. Get answers to difficult questions like: - How do you make remote employees feel comfortable brining their whole selves to work? - What are the signs that a remote teammate could be struggling? - What are the risks around psychological safety when working remotely? - How do you approach different expectations of leadership across diverse cultures? See you there 🧑💻

The link between psychological safety and performance is now a simple fact. But how do you build it at a distance? Let’s be honest: working on your own for long periods can get weird 🫥 Bonds between teammates take way longer to form. Conversations become 99% transactional. Written feedback gets misunderstood. For leaders, all this amounts to a big challenge when building psychological safety. Making team members feel comfortable with each other isn’t just about good vibes. It impacts results. And in tough times, it’s essential.
