Having an effective performance management system in place can help you to achieve the best from your employees as it provides you with a framework to set goals and objectives and enables employees to understand the standards required of them.

Appraisals can be an effective method of managing your staff's performance, however if they are not managed correctly then can either just turn into a paper exercise or not give you the results you need.

This half day course is ideal for anyone with supervisory or line management responsibilities and for those that have responsibility for managing human resources. It will provide you with the skills to effectively and confidently implement and manage an ongoing appraisal system, resulting in the development of the day to day performance of your employees, and in turn the overall success of your organisation.

By the end of the course, delegates will have greater confidence in reviewing staff performance and will have an understanding of:

• the principles of the appraisal process
• the do's and don't of appraisals
• how to deal with difficult situations during an appraisal process
• Assessing performance against job descriptions and goals
• how to identify development needs and devise strategies to help improve performance
• Setting fair objectives and be able to monitor against these objectives

Refreshments will be provided.
