Join today’s webinar: From Process to impact: Rethinking performance reviews in Totara
Wednesday 28th January, 4pm (London)
Performance reviews should spark meaningful conversations, align people with purpose, and drive real growth, not just tick procedural boxes. Creating review cycles that genuinely support performance takes clarity, intention and the right tools.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how organisations are reshaping both annual and quarterly review cycles using Totara Perform, moving beyond traditional processes to create impactful, people-centred experiences.
We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Totara version 20 – let us know in the What’s new workspace or our ongoing Product survey!
See you in the Community again soon.
