Facilitation guidance

Use the document to expose differences—not hide them.

Gather evidence from current employees, recent candidates and operational leaders separately. Differences between the groups are more useful than an averaged score.

This resource provides general planning guidance. It is not legal, financial, regulatory or accessibility advice.

Act the decision

Use the resource before the meeting.

Complete the sections that affect where does the candidate promise exceed the employee reality? Then use the review to agree evidence, ownership and unresolved decisions.
