Performance Review Playbook: Document, Motivate, Discipline and Retain

This 75-minute interactive workshop will take you step-by-step through the annual appraisal process. You’ll walk away knowing how to:

Create formal written records of your staff members’ performance
Recognize achievements and identify areas for growth and improvement
Build a performance plan around goals for the upcoming year

Used correctly, performance reviews can be the single most effective tool to assess past work and set future goals. Yet poor reviews will lead to rapid turnover, low morale, and potential legal trouble.

Writing employees’ annual performance appraisals is a daunting task because formally documenting your perceptions of someone else’s work can be potentially confrontational and demotivating. How you document your message, therefore, takes on critical importance. All the while, you’re expected to play motivator and coach while insulating your organization from unwanted liability.

Join this valuable workshop that will demonstrate how to save time gathering data and simultaneously motivate your staff by involving them in individual development planning. This efficient training program packs an amazing amount of content into one session. You will learn dozens of techniques and tips on how to improve your appraisals to improve your people.
