A sensitive area.
WHERE IT CAN HELP
Structuring your thinking before a conversation Drafting feedback clearly Preparing what you want to say about a difficult issue
WHERE IT MUST NOT BE USED
Assessing performance Generating the assessment itself Deciding about someone's employment
WHY
An assessment of a person must come from observation, not generation.
Using AI to produce performance ratings is both unfair and, in many jurisdictions, legally problematic.
HOW TO USE IT PROPERLY
"I need to raise [specific issue] with a team member. Here is what happened. Help me structure the conversation so it is clear and fair."
WHAT MAKES FEEDBACK WORK
Specific examples, not generalisations Describing behaviour and effect, not character Clear about what should change A chance for them to respond
WHAT TO NEVER DO
Send generated feedback unedited Use AI-produced language about a person's character Base a decision on anything generated
FOR DIFFICULT SITUATIONS
Take proper advice before acting, particularly where dismissal is contemplated.
