Performance Management

Create a performance management process that is fair, consistent, and accessible for everyone, including employees with disabilities. This page brings together practical tools, templates, and guidance to help you remove barriers, set clear expectations, and support meaningful performance conversations across the employee lifecycle. Designed for human resources, DEI professionals, and people leaders, it focuses on what to consider before performance discussions begin, how to conduct inclusive reviews, and how to document outcomes in ways that are equitable, auditable, and easy to maintain over time.

Grounded in our Disability Confidence approach, the materials emphasize practical actions HR teams can take to reduce bias, distinguish between performance and accessibility related barriers, and ensure that employees are not disadvantaged by inaccessible processes or documents. You will find guidance on preparing managers, structuring goals and competencies, supporting employees who require accessibility supports, and maintaining consistency across in person and remote work environments. The focus is on real world implementation, with adaptable templates, plain language guidance, and accessibility first practices that can be embedded into existing performance management systems.

Some performance management resources are available to all users, while organizations partnered with Untapped Talent receive access to additional, exclusive supports. These may include deeper implementation guidance, facilitated reviews, and expert support to help audit and strengthen the accessibility of your performance management processes. If you are looking to move beyond intention and into consistent practice, this resource group is designed to help you do that with confidence.
