Managing Performance and Giving Feedback
Dislike doing performance appraisals? Need to get the best out of your people? Do you need a confidence boost to give employees feedback? Can you clearly identify good and poor performance?
Effective performance management is an everyday part of people management. Ideally your people will know how they’re performing against your expectations, have a development plan and are working to their strengths. To do this successfully, they need regular feedback and development conversations.
At the end you will:
- develop an appropriate performance management strategy for each team member
- be able to use the performance/potential matrix
- recognise and build on individual strengths
- be able to give each team member appropriate development goals and challenges
- develop approaches to giving constructive feedback effectively
- understand ways of giving praise in line with each individual’s motivations
- be able to overcome barriers to feedback
- increase engagement.
Why is this important?
Managers are responsible for getting results, and performance management and feedback are the mainstays of achieving this.
