Performance management - Performance training
Managing an employee who is not performing to your required standards can be a stressful and problematical process, and as a result managers often avoid tackling these important issues. However, failing to manage a poor performer is a short-term strategy as it can lead to low team morale and an increased risk of losing valued employees. The only way to reduce the stress for yourself or your managers is to ensure that the correct procedure is in place and you, or your managers, are well prepared.
This course will enable managers to think ahead and give them the ability to plan their approach to addressing performance problems. Understanding the legal context will help your company to both reduce the risk of expensive Tribunal claims and avoid the potential pitfalls. The course is designed to help managers on a practical basis and can be adapted to meet the needs in your particular environment.

Why train with Workplace Law?
Managers often consider appraisals to be a burden, a waste of time and something that companies just think they should do. Workplace Law’s HR trainer will engage the delegates in lively debate about the benefits of performance management and how their attitude (spoken or not) impacts on the success of the process.
The HR team are very experienced in this type of training and have been involved in introducing and revising many performance management systems in a wide variety of organisations. Our trainers are able to bring real life examples to the day so delegates can be confident that the content of the training is totally valid and useful to them.
