  Appraisals 22 Nov 2009 Recording

Feedback is an important part of performance management but it's not always handled well. In this teleseminar recording we cover:

• What feedback REALLY is (and what it is not). Most people don’t know.
• How to give feedback that improves performance. Not all feedback does this so you need to know how to do it effectively.
• How to make sure you are getting the feedback you need
• It’s one thing giving others feedback, but you need to get it yourself. I show you a really easy way of doing that.
• How to deal with unfair feedback. Sometimes people give really unpleasant feedback – you’ll get a simple easy way to deal with it.
• How to give feedback to your manager. This can be very difficult, but there are easy ways, you’ll find them on the teleseminar.

  Feedback December 09 Recording

Do you need to tackle a performance issue?
Do you know managers who are putting off tackling performance issues?
Have you been told that your performance is not what it needs to be?
Many managers have real trouble tackling poor performance and many individuals need help to improve that they are not getting. I once came across a situation where a really bad issue had been left for 22 years! Yes, years.

If you want to know some easy and straightforward ways to improve performance this teleseminar recording and transcript is ideal.

It's also for you if you are someone in the situation where you have been told your performance is not what it needs to be and what to know how to deal with it.

We look at both sides of the coin.

We include:

• What poor performance is
• How to identify it quickly
• How to deal with objectives not being achieved
• How to deal with behaviour issues
• A performance 'check list'
• How to have the conversation
• When to review
• What to do if things don't go to plan
• How to prepare for the conversationThe questions to ask
• Examples of objectives to help people improve their behaviour
  

If you want to know how to tackle poor performance or how to deal with being told you need to improve your performance, this teleseminar recording and transcript is for you.
