Performance management is about “people”, that is, it’s about helping people to do a good job. Managing performance isn’t a skill that necessarily comes naturally to managers; indeed, it is a skill which needs to be learnt. As with all aspects of management, planning is everything, and performance management is no exception. Managing performance is the process of planning and setting standards and the integration of employee development and results-based assessment. As a manager you will need to know how to develop your staff in alignment with organisational goals and when, how and what action to take when performance doesn’t reach the required standards.
This Workshop is designed to enable the delegate to understand the stages in the cycle of development and how these work together to aid the identification of performance gaps. To implement a plan of action for support, learning, review and evaluation. Execute both an informal and formal review and understand the monitoring process, in line with current legislative directives.
Typical elements for the Workshop include defining the scope of performance management, setting standards of performance and behaviour, the role of a leader, motivational factors for individuals and teams, strategies for managing performance and the benefits and practical applications of a coaching approach.
target audience This workshop is designed for those with a line management role or those tasked with implementing a performance management system.
