Why book this course?

In order to get the most out of your staff, it’s important that you allow them to develop. Without creating the right environment, it’s possible that their level of performance will remain static, and may even recede. By managing your staff more effectively, you can contribute to their development and improve your business’ outcomes.

Our Effective Performance Management and Appraisals/Reviews course will assist with your personal development, and allow you to perform the same feat with your staff. You’ll learn what performance management entails, how to encourage development by setting and tracking objectives, and how to prepare and undertake appraisals and reviews.

Who is the course for?

This course is ideal for line managers with the responsibility for undertaking performance management reviews, and anyone else who is responsible for monitoring and encouraging employee development.

Learners will increase their understanding of performance management and the benefits of appraisals and reviews, improving their motivational and communication skills.
