What does it actually take to give employees a meaningful voice in shaping the leadership around them? This candid panel brings together people leaders from organizations that have successfully embedded upward feedback into their performance cultures.
By treating feedback as a two-way conversation rather than a top-down exercise, these firms have built cultures of reflection, accountability, and continuous learning that benefit employees and leaders alike. Panelists will share the real-world decisions behind their programs including how they earned buy-in, created psychological safety, and connected feedback to growth rather than consequence.
Whether you’re exploring upward reviews for the first time or strengthening an existing process, this session delivers practical takeaways from firms that have turned upward feedback into lasting cultural change.
