<aside> 💡 Sense-check meetings are your opportunity as a manager to sense check everyone's performance to mitigate bias, and make sure managers align in how they assess the performance of their team.

A group of managers discuss their initial Performance Indicators of their team member’s performance, in order to align on whether we’re calling apples apples and not oranges
e.g. One manager might have a different view on what great performance looks like to another manager e.g. one could be a harsh assessor, another too generous.
To make sure that the trends we build are fair representations of how we perform, indicators should not rely on a single person’s perspective.
