Appraisal Techniques
In order to be sure that the needs and overall goals of the organisation are being met, managers are given targets. By utilising the skills of their team, managers can delegate work that will ensure that the targets are achieved. To do this properly, managers need to review their staff's performance, given them feedback on their overall performance and discover each individual's aspirations. This 2-day course will help to develop those skills.
Target audience
Newly appointed managers and supervisors who have to set objectives for and appraise staff. Participants are encouraged to bring with them examples of their own organization's appraisal documents. It is also useful to bring information about a particular employee, to use as a personal example.
