Maximizing Performance: Productive Performance Appraisals and Effective Performance Management Plans
Annual reviews are a tradition in most companies, a tradition that many employees and their managers dread. Do annual reviews and ratings, performance plans, and appraisals really help you get the most out of your employees?
Whether an employee is doing well or not, all employees need feedback on their performance.

In this session you will acquire the skills you need to produce a meaningful dialogue that actually motivates employees and gives them a strategy to succeed.
