5. Performance Appraisal ..... 2
A performance appraisal is a regular review of an employee's job performance and overall contribution to a company. Also known as an "annual review," "performance review or evaluation," or "employee appraisal," a performance appraisal evaluates an employee’s skills, achievements and growth, or lack thereof. Companies use performance appraisals to give employees big-picture feedback on their work and to justify pay increases and bonuses, as well as termination decisions. They can be conducted at any given time but tend to be annual, semi-annual or quarterly.

10. The idea behind “Micro Burst Learning” 6
Microburst is a word that was coined related to energy management, in which micro represents a small energy investment and burst characterizes the disproportionately bigger energy return. It is a small (short in duration), intentional activity that results in a disproportionate, higher return. – Training Magazine
Microburst Learning allows companies to invest in shorter training opportunities to maximize employees time and energy, target more specific skills needed, and also at the same time, reduce training expenses!
This results in a higher return on investment. 

11. Using Critical Thinking as an engagement tool..11
“Critical thinking” is an umbrella term for six core skills, all of which combine to allow you to work, think, and act more effectively and more strategically:
Problem-solving: developing a strategy and creating workable solutions.
Analysis: breaking arguments down into bite-sized chunks.
Creative thinking: finding new and often unexpected solutions to all sorts of problems.
Interpretation: decoding the meaning and significance of evidence or experiences.
Evaluation: weighing the strengths and weaknesses of an argument (including those of others) and dealing fairly with disagreements.
Reasoning: the production of compelling and persuasive arguments.
The important thing to note is that critical thinking isn’t about “being critical”; it’s about much more than just finding flaws in other people’s claims.
