Target Group
New site, team and program leaders, other people management beginners, and people wanting to benchmark
Summary
The mere mention of the term ‘performance management’ is enough to send a shiver up the spine of new managers/team leaders and their staff. Many of us immediately think of nerve-wracking performance appraisals and sleepless nights prior to those under performance discussions. It doesn’t have to be like this.
This 3-part coaching program introduces new team leaders, and those looking for new ideas or to benchmark, to some of the key elements of performance management. While Most providers will have extensive HR assistance and Performance Management Frameworks, this coaching program focuses on an inclusive outcome centred approach to addressing, rewarding or re-aligning staff performance.

Session 2 – Performance Appraisal and Managing Under Performance – Thursday 30 July 2020 at 1:30pm AEST (1:00pm SA & NT and 11:30am WA)
A good Performance Management Framework allows people and organisations to flourish. Performance Appraisal is an integral part of the ongoing performance management process. Most of us are good at good news. Sometimes, however, there will be performance issues that we need to address. In a few cases we may need to work through a more formal under performance management process. In today’s session we’ll look at the Performance Appraisal process and managing under performance.
Session 3 – Over to You…. – Friday 7 August 2020 at 2pm AEST (1:30pm SA & NT and 12 noon WA)
