eLearning format (Self-paced)

Please refer to Pricing Page for cost per participant

Performance reviews are an essential component of employee development. The performance review meeting is an important aspect of career planning, and the outcomes of the meeting should be known to the employee and supervisor before the meeting actually takes place. Remember what the German philosopher Goethe said: “Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being.” Setting goals and objectives to aim for will give both supervisors and employees a focus, and is one of the key aspects to meeting overall company objectives. Supervisors must also learn how to give feedback, both positive and negative, on a regular and timely basis so that employees can grow and develop. Performance appraisals involve all these activities.

What Will Participants Learn?

The importance of having a performance review process for employees.
How to work with employees to set performance standards and goals.
Skills in observing, giving feedback, listening, and asking questions.

Change is something that excites people who love opportunities for growth, to see and learn about new things, or who like to shift the status quo. Some changes, however, are harder to adjust to and lead to expressions of resistance and anger. We can take concrete steps to make change more palatable by understanding people’s hesitation, enlisting the help of others, setting up plans, and managing stressors. These steps can also ensure that desired changes are implemented successfully.

In this course, you will learn how to manage and cope with change and how to help those around you too.

Accept there are no normal or abnormal ways of reacting to change, but that we must start from where we are.

Understand that adapting to change is not technical but attitudinal. Change is not an intellectual issue but one that strikes at who you are.
Recognize that before we can embrace the way things will be, we may go through a process of grieving, and of letting go of the way things used to be.
See change as an opportunity for self-motivation and innovation.
Identify strategies for helping change be accepted and implemented in the workplace.
