Reviewing Performance offers managers invaluable insights into what constitutes an effective employee performance review and how to make the review process beneficial for both managers and associates. Participants examine “good” and “bad” performance review processes, explore best practices for conducting performance reviews in the context of performance with fulfilment, and practice what they’ve learned using various true – to – life exercises and role – plays.

OFFERING DETAILS

Reviewing Performance is a practical, one – day, facilitator –led leadership effectiveness program. By participating in various activities, learners explore proven techniques for preparing for, writing, and conducting effective employee performance reviews. The characteristics and benefits of effective performance reviews are defined, and participants explore the effect of unclear evaluations on performance and motivation.

Taking into consideration that most people generally “dread” performance reviews, Reviewing Performance helps managers make reviews a partnership discussion that focuses on the two factors of professional success – performance and fulfilment. Learners discuss the benefits of high performance/ high fulfilment, both to the individual contributor and to the organization as a whole.

In the program, participants practice a process for writing and conducting effective performance reviews. They explore guidelines for rating performance, and identify common errors made when assigning ratings. After studying the legal requirements associated with performance reviews, learners have the opportunity to practice writing and conducting a review using their new acquired skills. A video example of a review discussion provides participants insights into a “right way” approach.
