Performance management conversations for staff
A half-day workshop
We need to talk openly about how we are performing and we sometimes need to have an ‘honest’ conversation with our manager. We all know this, but it can be difficult.
This short, focused workshop will give you the confidence and skills to have a conversation with your manager (or anyone else for that matter) about your performance and how you can add value. It will focus on how to get yourself heard and build better working relationships with those key to your success.
Learning objectives
The programme will help you:
- Overcome the barriers to effective performance conversations
- Receive feedback without taking it personally
- Improve working relationships with your manager
- Agree realistic expectations and targets (and get ‘buy-in’ for them)
- Improve your communication style
- Plan and prepare for honest conversations in the workplace
Who should attend?
Staff wanting to practise talk openly and perfect performance management conversations.
Format
This half-day workshop will focus on having those tougher conversations about your performance or your working relationship with your manager. It will give you a template for holding these conversations and help you understand the impact of not having them.
