You’re lying in bed, inwardly cringing as you think about having that conversation tomorrow—where you’ll have to tell an employee to her face that her work is subpar and corrective measures are needed.

Harley, who worked in HR for eight years, offered advice during her presentation, “What to Say When You’ve Waited Too Long: Giving Useful Feedback” at the Feed New WindowSHRM Talent Conference & Expo 2023 in Orlando, Fla.
