Employee performance evaluations are an essential factor in the development of employees and the growth of the company as it is an opportunity to identify an employee’s strengths and areas that need improvement. Yet most managers and employees alike dread them. Why? Because the evaluation often has the wrong focus – a focus of telling the employee what they must do to improve or why they are getting less than stellar ratings for the year.It is time to eliminate the dread of performance reviews and turn them into a robust conversation about personal and professional growth and aligning with goals that move both the individual and the company forward.Components of healthy performance reviews are ensuring goals are focused and achievable, removing blocks the employee may face, asking appropriate questions and giving feedback, both negative and positive. When managers and supervisors learn to set a positive environment for honest discussions, the appraisal process becomes a constructive conversation that builds relationships and increases performance. The process can be duplicated throughout the year with positive results.Areas Covered In this webinar you will learn how to put a positive performance appraisal process in place in your organization and learn how to:Clearly state expectationsDecide and communicate performance review logisticsSet consequences for non-performanceHandle inadvertent human errors Use a conversational interview formatSpeak from observable factsGive feedback that builds the relationshipWork with criticismAvoid the “sandwich” techniqueDevelop KRA’s – Key Result AreasPrepare mentallyAsk the employee to prepareHandle the salary questionSurface the truthWho Should AttendThis webinar is designed for all leaders, managers, and team leads responsible for conducting performance reviews for their team members.
