Conducting Performance Appraisals
fotolia_2707546_xsThe performance appraisal can be a powerful management tool for strengthening morale and improving overall job performance.  Well-executed performance appraisals create productive workplaces and a positive environment for everyone.  

Discuss guidelines for evaluating employee performance and conducting an effective performance appraisal meeting, along with tips for making appraisals a useful component of a well-functioning office.

In this workshop, we discuss the following topics:

I. Define Your Organization's Performance Appraisal System

Review your organization's performance appraisal procedure. Understand the importance of planning, preparing, and structuring the performance appraisal.

II. Complete These Important Activities Before the Performance Appraisal Interview

It is important to plan for the performance appraisal meeting well in advance to provide you sufficient time to gather your notes and other information regarding the employee's achievements, assemble important back-up data, and adequately complete the appraisal form.

III. Key Elements of a Successful Performance Appraisal Interview

Learn essential elements of a successful performance appraisal meeting including: the importance of conducting the meeting in a private setting, reviewing standards, providing effective feedback, communicating desired outcomes, and setting performance objectives for the following appraisal period. 

IV. Without Follow-Up, Performance Appraisals Become Useless

Follow-up tools are the essential aspect in maintaining performance.  The evaluation and coaching process must be continuous.  The periodic formal meeting is essentially a summary and re-statement of pervious conversations.  You must provide feedback and coaching on significant performance events, positive or negative, as soon as possible after the event.  If you wait until the annual formal session, your objectives will not be met.
