Most managers and supervisors would rather have a root canal treatment than have to conduct employee evaluations!
The problem is that they are thinking about all the things that can - and do - go wrong when a person doesn't know how to conduct effective performance evaluations. Performance evaluations that are done well can have a significant impact on the future of the employee as well as the company! Used effectively, they can encourage employee development, improve performance, and recognise and reward contributions.
This seminar helps participants focus on the fundamental principles and approaches necessary to implement and administer a fair and meaningful performance evaluation.
