How You Will Benefit
Performance reviews often are not fun for anyone involved. The employees being reviewed are nervous about the status of their positions, and often managers have to navigate delicate conversations while communicating important information. However, having a conversation about performance and setting a plan for performance improvement is a key way to develop strong employees and to strengthen rapport between workers and supervisors.
In fact, effective formal reviews increase employee performance by 25% and employment engagement by 35%. To give you an idea of how often you should be giving feedback, 43% of highly engaged employees receive feedback at least once a week.
This course is designed to give managers the tools they need to run effective performance management sessions.
