Building a year-round calibration rhythm
Turn annual sessions into a rolling cadence with checkpoints, leading indicators, and transparent follow-through.
Avoid calibration whiplash
Document why a rating moved and who agreed; keep the rationale visible for the next cycle.
Stabilize criteria mid-year—if standards shift, communicate them broadly before the next checkpoint.
Close the loop
Translate calibration outcomes into individual development plans and revisit status monthly in 1:1s.
Share summarized shifts with leadership to spot systemic needs (mentorship, rotations, hiring).
