Peer-based performance feedback is not only more accurate but also far more engaging for employees to receive, says globally renowned leadership specialist Simon Sinek.

Performance management should operate virtually the same way it does in person, but managers are avoiding these conversations completely or not holding them well, an experienced HR leader says.

An employee was wrong to think a performance improvement plan was an attempt to "push her out of the company", the Fair Work Commission has found, accepting that an HR manager tried to alleviate her fears.

An employee has won reinstatement and nearly three years' backpay after a tribunal found her morbid obesity led to discrimination and unfair dismissal.

Building a culture of feedback acceptance is HR's "holy grail", and new research shows two factors influence employees' reception of criticism.

A manager's negative comments when providing an employee's reference caused a psychological injury, but they were reasonable, a tribunal has found.

An employee faced with "mounting" performance concerns voluntarily resigned to avoid being sacked, the Fair Work Commission has found in rejecting her constructive dismissal claim.

An HR manager has been criticised for failing to investigate an employee's bullying and abuse claims, after she instead collected misconduct evidence to support the employee's dismissal.

A cancer survivor who lodged an unfair dismissal claim to teach his employer to "care for people" failed to acknowledge "the difficulties with his own behaviour", the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
