Performance Appraisal Toolbox: How to Prepare & Deliver Legal & Effective Appraisals

This performance appraisal training/Webinar helps managers master the performance appraisal process from start to finish. Learn how to avoid legal landmines, as well as, build rapport with employees while helping enhance performance.

Why Should You Attend:

It’s often called the “most dreaded management task”. It’s the performance appraisal. How do you evaluate your employees’ performance without soft peddling the difficult stuff or being hyper critical and risking a defensive reaction? In this program, Judi prepares your managers & supervisors for this difficult, yet very important, job. Without a successful performance appraisal process, organizations can fall into the trap of “carrying” poor performers & tacitly endorsing substandard work. Judi shows your leaders how to utilize your organization’s performance appraisal form and use behavioral, not attitudinal language to ensure legal compliance and optimal employee development. Judi turns the “most dreaded management task” into a positive experience for all.
