The DOs and DON'Ts of Performance Appraisals |
Challenge:
Performance management and performance appraisals are key elements to successful organizations. Well-executed performance appraisals create productive workplaces and a positive environment for everyone. Yet, too many managers approach this important task with negative attitudes of annoyance and frustration. We find these negative attitudes often mask the manager's true feelings of uncertainty and the fear of failure. Managers face potential pitfalls and often commit common mistakes that degrade the performance appraisal process for the organization.
Solution:
Learning the DOs and DON'Ts of Performance Appraisals is a highly interactive workshop that engages managers at all levels of the organization. Understanding and being aware of potential pitfalls will allow you to recognize and avoid them. The knowledge, skills, and confidence gained in this workshop will motivate you to fully engage in the performance management process and deliver well-executed performance appraisals.
