Who is the course for?

This course is designed for executives and managers who need to learn Performance Management and want to learn how to improve the effectiveness of their team members.

Course description

Annual performance appraisals have the potential to be a dynamic and powerful method for managing employee performance. However, the results are typically less than ideal. Instead of a single performance appraisal event, leaders should use a strategy for ongoing Performance Management. Performance Management involves establishing a systematic process that managers can use to support and develop employees. This process focuses on creating clear expectations for individual performance based on the organization’s goals. The goal of this course is to help managers improve their people-development skills by implementing a performance management system that helps every employee achieve their peak performance potential.

Completing this course will help you

  • Differentiate between performance management and annual performance appraisals.

  • Utilize the four-step approach for productive performance conversations and avoid conversation minefields.
