DESCRIPTION

Performance Development Conversations provide an excellent opportunity for Managers and staff to review progress during the year and discuss not only what has gone well but any issues which may have impacted on performance.

However, to conduct these conversations effectively is not always easy, requiring both leadership and skill. Without these, much of the value of the conversations can be lost, with the exercise being viewed by both Manager and staff alike more in the nature of a compliance exercise, rather than an opportunity for building positive working relationships, staff development and growth.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this one-day programme is to assist Managers and Team Leaders in developing/updating all the key skills to conduct effective Performance Development Conversations, with a particular focus on providing both positive and negative feedback, motivating and raising constructively the more difficult issues relating to performance.

CONTENT
