Performance Appraisal Training Course
Develop the management skills to carry out structured appraisal meetings that motivate and build commitment as well as dealing effectively with issues.
We offer in-house Performance Appraisal Training internationally and Open Performance Appraisal Training in the UK
What would be the impact on your team if each staff member’s performance improved by 5-10%? Most managers agree that this would make a radical difference. The good news is that this level of performance gain can frequently be achieved through improved performance management. Appraisal is a key tool for managers to help staff develop their performance.
This one day course develops the management skills and behaviours to plan for and deliver Performance Appraisal meetings. The course builds an expectation of what is possible through the formal appraisal meeting and increases motivation. It challenges managers to reflect on their attitude to staff and adopt a positive approach where appraisal is part of an ongoing performance management process. It is relevant for anyone who supervises staff and is responsible for appraising their performance.

Dynamic training style with a focus on skills practise
Inspiring principles: We introduce the benefits of effective Performance Appraisal to inspire managers about the value of this tool.
Practical tools: The course provides managers with practical tools to help them prepare for and structure performance appraisals.
Successful behaviours: Participants learn to use effective appraisal skills such as giving and receiving difficult feedback. Each person practises these skills in 1:1 scenarios to assess their skills under pressure. They use peer and instructor feedback to create a personalised development action plan.
Personal Coaching: The most important thing is to use what is learned on the course back in the real world. We facilitate this by providing a one hour 1:1 coaching session by telephone for each participant following the course.
Although the course takes place in the classroom, it is highly experiential – involving people in actively practising the skills in exciting scenarios that bring out common challenges.
In-House Performance Appraisal Training
In house courses are available for groups of four, or more participants. The examples and scenarios used are tailored to the specific situations the group faces. For example, we created a course for Heineken which incorporated training on the company-specific processes for documenting performance appraisals.
Courses can be delivered in-house, or at a suitable venue off-site.
