An effective appraisal gives you the opportunity to review past performance, discuss and agree future performance targets and to plan future training and coaching needs. At the same time it offers the employee the opportunity of discussing their performance, knowing how they are performing and allowing them to discuss their role and ideas for achieving agreed objectives. An appraisal, if done correctly, is the best opportunity you have to motivate, encourage, coach and improve productivity of the individuals in your team. This course will provide each delegate with the essential skills, techniques and tools required to effectively prepare, deliver and evaluate a highly effective performance appraisal interview that adds best value to your organisation.
