Are you a manager or supervisor who:
- Dreads conducting performance appraisals?
- Feels more anxious or intimidated than the employee sitting across
from you?
- Often waits until the last minute to prepare your appraisals?
- Wants to maintain the high productivity of your outstanding employees
- and deal more effectively with the unsatisfactory ones?
- Needs to become better skilled at solving performance problems and
- setting the performance goals of your employees?
- Avoids discussing performance problems with your employees?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions and have the
responsibility of evaluating employee performance, then this course is a
must for you. No matter how sophisticated or high tech your environment is
may be, people - your people - are the most valuable resource of your
organization. A critical part of your job is to be able to openly discuss
and manage performance with those people who report to you.
The evaluation of your employees' performance can be an agonizing,
difficult, or stressful ordeal; that is, if you let it. Or it can be a
positive motivating, experience that produces positive results.
Performance management - or how well you conduct your performance
appraisals - can have a significant affect on your own career as well as
your staff's.
Performance management is about improving your employees' work performance
that is measurable and trackable rather than simply discussing your wish
list of expectations that somehow always seem to fall through the cracks.
