Preparing your staff for the Performance Review
Course Description
The value of the performance review is greatly increased if both parties are prepared. The review should be seen as another part of the ongoing two way communication process, that is more productive when both people understand the process and the expected outcomes. This session is specifically designed for managers, who will then communicate the material to their staff prior to review, but it can also be delivered directly to the employees who will be reviewed
