HR presence in bi-annual review meetings
Hi All,
Our workplace is looking to introduce the presence of a HR person into our bi-annual performance review and I just want to get some assistance with clarifying the exact role of the HR person in regular performance reviews.
My understanding is that it is usual to have a HR person in disciplinary reviews, however they are there as an impartial observer to ensure the review is conducted in a fair and equitable manner.
In a normal performance review I would expect the HR person's role to be, again, as an impartial observer and not there to actually 'review' the employee and not to contribute their own comments and opinions during the review.
Does this sound correct?
Thank you.
