Rethinking Performance Appraisals

performance appraisals

 

Are performance appraisals the bane of your life?

Do you dread doing them and you find your employees hate them also?

Do you know that there is no other business practice that fails so often to bring about the outcomes it sets for itself, but continues to be used year after year?

Did you know also that increasing numbers of organisations are abandoning them in favour of better ways of motivating and enhancing the performance of their people?

You can also do that!

It has surprised me as I work in this area how many people do not realise there are alternatives to the traditional performance appraisals and alternatives that produce much better outcomes for motivating the performance of their people.

  • Introduction to Performance Leadership Skills
    Being the coach, not the critic

    Using a feed-forward approach, rather than a feed-back one
    Creating with and for employees a psychological contract, where managers work with employees to achieve win/win outcomes.
