COURSE DESCRIPTION: Most employees hate performance evaluations. Most managers dread giving them. Yet more than 70 million U.S. workers receive them each year. Why? Advocates of performance reviews say they raise productivity, differentiate salaries and protect against lawsuits. But it’s not true. No wonder just 5% of HR professionals are “very satisfied” with their performance management systems.
To help you cope with this challenge, we have created a special, 2 1/2-hour webinar — which combines the convenience of audio conferencing with the visual power of the Internet. Speaker Gary Markle, one of the nation’s most outspoken experts on performance management systems, will deliver his talk in three parts:
- Part 1: Why standard evaluations cost your company time and money while turning employees off and exposing your company to lawsuits.
- Part 2: Ten key components of an effective performance management system.
- Part 3: How to replace your failed performance evaluation system with a process called “Catalytic Coaching,” a healthy alternative methodology that actually achieves the outcomes everyone wants from performance reviews.
At the end of this 150-minute webinar, participants will:
- No longer dread the thought of having to conduct performance evaluations
- Know how to use feedback to motivate employees instead of turning them off
- Be proficient at documenting performance in ways that dramatically reduce your company’s exposure to legal judgments
- Understand the importance of de-linking performance appraisal and pay
- Spend less time on evaluations while achieving the behavioral changes they want from employees
- Be able to build a process that no longer continually understates employee problems
- Reward real teambuilding rather than gamesmanship
The course also will show you how to change your performance management system to do the following:
- Shift from evaluating and judging to coaching for success
- Change from a backward-looking critique to a forward-looking approach focused on business results
- Reduce turnover
- Increase internal promotions
- Minimize legal exposure
