Training Course Syllabus:

Effective Performance Reviews Audio Conference

Formal performance reviews often determine pay increases, promotions and—in some cases—whether employees stay on the payroll. Yet many managers and supervisors fail to adequately prepare for these crucial meetings. As a result, they feel uncomfortable giving reviews and are often uncertain about how to handle sticky issues that can unexpectedly come up. This audio conference couldn’t have come at a better time.

Here’s a one-hour session focused on how to give performance reviews the attention and careful planning they deserve. You’ll learn how to predict an employee’s reactions and be prepared to defend your position, gather necessary supporting facts before the meeting, be honest and matter-of-fact when discussing weaknesses, successfully handle awkward and uncomfortable situations and more. Enroll in this audio conference and gain a step-by-step process for preparing for and conducting performance reviews that spur employees on to greater performance.

Here’s some of all you’ll learn:

• The steps in the performance review cycle
• The manager’s checklist for conducting effective performance reviews
• How to prepare for the formal performance review
• How to avoid the common mistakes managers and supervisors make when preparing for performance reviews
• How to anticipate disagreements and questions—and be prepared for them
• How to conduct a fair and constructive performance review
• Why you shouldn’t soft-pedal the issue
