Performance Evaluations that Make a Difference with Nadia Rubaii
One of the most challenging aspects of any supervisory position is evaluating the performance of employees, especially if one has been promoted from within to supervise previous co-workers.
Most individuals who rise to supervisory positions are experts in their field but have minimal formal training on the unique challenges of supervision.
For this and other reasons performance evaluations often do more harm than good, and they leave both the supervisor and the employee dissatisfied with the process.
Regardless of whether your organization has a formal performance appraisal process or a form, supervisors have a responsibility to evaluate performance of their employees and provide feedback to them.
Learn about the multitude of performance evaluation models and their relative strengths and weaknesses so that you can select one that fits your management style and your organizations needs. Learn what is necessary and practice skills for effective communication when sharing information about performance concerns, reaching agreement on performance goals, selecting an appropriate leadership style, and achieving improved performance. Participants will leave with knowledge and skills that can be applied right away.
