Practical and Painless Performance Reviews

Performance management is one of the most time-consuming and dreaded tasks of a supervisor. While it's easy to deliver good news about employee performance, it can be challenging and uncomfortable to deliver messages about poor performance. In this workshop, learn how to master the art of delivering performance reviews by avoiding common errors and following best practices.

Typically seen as an administrative task accomplished once a year, successful supervisors make it part of a process that is done intermittently to prevent a large arduous task.

In this highly engaging workshop, participants will have the opportunity to practice delivering and implementing what they've learned so that when they leave the classroom, they will have both the cognitive knowledge and the experiential, hands-on practice of the skills to apply immediately back in the workplace.
