Giving feedback and performance reviews

Giving feedback is essential for developing top performers. This course focuses on how to give effective feedback and coach staff for success. Participants will explore how to conduct performance reviews and set goals for high-performing teams.

Description

Giving effective feedback is essential for improving staff and team performance. Performance development is one of the most effective ways to improve productivity and a company’s profitability.

Yet many managers avoid giving constructive feedback for fear of getting it wrong and facing legal action.

This course focuses on how to create a high-performing team by giving effective feedback and coaching to improve performance.

Through discussion and scenarios, course participants will explore how to give constructive feedback, coach staff, and conduct performance reviews.

We will answer questions like: How often should you meet with staff in regular catch ups? What are SMART goals and performance objectives? How can you reduce manager biases for a fair assessment in performance reviews? 

Participants will learn how to give effective feedback and conduct performance reviews with ease.

This course is not designed for participants registered for the online course “Leader’s Guide to Performance Management,” which is a comprehensive guide of this topic.
