How to Conduct Effective Performance

Appraisals

Most managers feel uncomfortable about conducting performance

appraisals, while their employees often view them as a form of punishment.  T

That’s because in many environments, appraisals are primarily used to

determine pay increases, who gets let go, or who gets promoted.  They

tend to focus largely on what people have done wrong, while downplaying,

or even ignoring, their successes.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.

This workshop shows participants how to prepare for and conduct

performance appraisals that focus on what the employee has done

well, the barriers that have prevented the employee from achieving

greater success, and how the manager and employee can work together

in the future to improve the employee’s overall performance.

In this workshop, participants learn how to:

	Plan performance appraisals that are performance-based and growth- oriented
	Use 11 key principles for conducting performance appraisals
	Develop a strategic follow-up plan
	Deal effectively with poor performance
	Use a template (provided) for planning and conducting an effective performance appraisal
