Are your employees performing at their best? This question is the acid test of how well your performance management system is working for you.
The term "Performance Management System" is often used synonymously with "performance appraisal". Actually, thinking this way is one of the things that gets organizations into trouble, because the yearly appraisal process--no matter how well designed--is not enough to ensure that employees perform at their best.
For a performance management system to deliver the goods, it must encourage the right behaviours from both the manager and employee throughout the year. In this interactive session you will learn about performance management best practices, and also learn how to diagnose your own organization and develop specific strategies and recommendations to take performance management to the next level.
What You Can Expect to Learn
- The 6 key manager-employee conversations that must be encouraged by the performance management system
- Best practices in system design, goal setting and the performance appraisal process.
- How to hold managers accountable
- The skills that managers need to have, and how to get them
