		<description><![CDATA[While reviewing some great posts on performance reviews, I recalled a recent survey we did for an HR association.

I&#8217;ve been to many and have seen the quality of speakers and number of attendees increase dramatically during my career.  Bring lots of business cards and don&#8217;t plan to catch up on your sleep while you&#8217;re away.
