1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ performance ratings across managers in a calibration session, rather than letting one manager's rubric drift from everyone else's.'
We 'calibrate ratings' — the standard, simple collocation for aligning performance scores across managers. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping cross-team calibration can ___ two equally strong employees rated inconsistently for no actual reason.'
We say skipped calibration will 'leave' equally strong employees rated inconsistently — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting unfairness. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ concrete examples for every rating in the calibration room, rather than a gut feeling nobody can actually defend.'
We 'cite examples' — the standard, simple collocation for backing a rating with evidence. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every proposed rating against the leveling guide, rather than approving a score nobody's actually checked against the standard.'
We 'check a rating' — the standard, simple collocation for validating a score against a leveling guide. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ calibration outcomes back to managers promptly, rather than leaving them guessing what actually changed after the meeting.'
We 'communicate outcomes' — the standard, simple collocation for relaying calibration decisions to managers. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
