Performance Management
Navigating the 2026 Mid-Year Coaching Cycle
The 2026 Mid-Year Coaching window is officially open! Launched on January 15, this cycle is more than just a task in Cornerstone. Mid-year coaching is a vital touchpoint that ensures every team member feels supported, aligned, and empowered to succeed.
We strongly encourage all employees and supervisors to prioritize and complete these coaching conversations. Engaging in this process now ensures you have time to pivot strategies and address support needs, while there is still plenty of runway left in the year to achieve your goals.
