Which of the following is NOT discussed when conducting ACA sessions, the private, face-to-face feedback session with the ratee?

• A. What needs to be done after the evaluation performance report is submitted
• B. What the ratee did well
• C. Specific examples of behavior
• D. Development plan

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that ACA sessions are about performance feedback and development, not administrative post-submission tasks. In the private, face-to-face feedback, you focus on what the ratee did well and provide specific examples of behavior to illustrate those strengths. You also work together on a development plan that outlines concrete steps and timelines for improvement. These elements help the ratee understand current performance and how to grow.

What happens after the evaluation performance report is submitted is an administrative step handled by supervisors or HR outside the feedback session; it isn’t the focus of the ACA conversation. Those post-submission actions don’t directly guide the ratee’s development in the moment, which is why they aren’t discussed during the ACA session. The topics that are discussed—strengths, concrete behavioral examples, and a development plan—are the core parts that drive meaningful, actionable feedback.
