Understanding the appraisal process

We will start by getting our delegates to think about the benefits of the appraisal process to the organization, to their team and to them. We will explain how to use the performance appraisal as a key tool to achieving their team’s yearly objectives.

The interview structure

In this session we will give them tips and techniques to prepare for and to conduct a productive appraisal – from pre-appraisal preparation to setting up the room for effective communication

Communication skills

One of the key needs of the appraiser is how to conduct the appraisal so that it is used as a tool for increasing productivity and morale. We will explain the key communication skills that the expert appraiser uses for maximum results.

Reviewing past performance

The biggest fear of many appraisers is how to criticise members of their team, especially if their performance is sub-standard. With a combination of tried and tested techniques we will give delegates the confidence to approach any issue with confidence.

Setting clear and realistic objectives

The key to a great appraisal is what happens after the appraisal – how the objectives were met. Goal and objectives setting is vital to the overall success of the performance appraisal so in this session we get delegates to understand the essentials of setting strong objectives and how to ensure they are motivational.

Completing the appraisal form

An essential criterion for follow-up is the recording of agreed goals. We will give delegates lots of tips on how to complete this and how to integrate them into day-to-day actions of the appraisee.

How to avoid appraisal pitfalls

There are many reasons for appraisals that fail to deliver.

• Discussing poor performance professionally
• Dealing with non-responsive and difficult appraise reactions to the appraisal

Course close and paperwork

All delegates will complete an action plan that can be used to evaluate the skills learned from the day.
