Performance Management Training Course
One of the more challenging and difficult tasks for any manager is, performance management for underperforming staff. Engaging staff about their poor performance is tough. However, organisational survey data tells us that, falling performance is one of the biggest gripes for employees. Let’s be really clear — employees want managers to deal with poor performers.
This in-house performance management training course helps Australian managers handle performance conversations with skill and confidence. So, what’s the problem? The problem is that it takes courage, commitment, time and skill to effectively manage poor performance. Too many managers avoid performance management discussions with the excuse that “they have not been adequately trained, or, they are not fully aware of the organisation’s performance management policies or the legal environment.” This breakthrough course ensures managers have no remaining excuses to procrastinate on performance management. The performance management in-house workshop course looks at ways to retain employees, and fix any performance management issues.
Performance Management In-House Training Workshop
The performance management in-house training option is highly recommended. There are 2 major advantages. Your people will learn some tips and skills. But we can also address specific performance management issues within your organisation. We can tailor the workshop content to reflect your performance review processes, HR frameworks, and operational challenges.
It can be a touchy subject, and we can always apply “Chatham House Rules” to encourage more input and dialogue.
