Performance Management for New Leaders and Other Beginners coaching program @ On line in 3 parts
Jun 16 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

NESA Coaching Program

ONLINE | 3 PARTS

Performance Management for New Leaders and Other Beginners coaching program

Wednesday 16, 23, & 30 June 2021

Starts 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm in SA, & NT and 12 noon in WA)

EVENT REGISTRATION

TARGET GROUP

All managers, team leaders and aspiring mangers

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 underperformance 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.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Session 1 – Performance Management Framework? It’s much more than a Performance Agreement! – Wednesday 16 June 2021 at 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm SA & NT and 12 noon WA)

In this session we’ll look at performance management and why it’s so important to the success of an organisation. Good performance management is like preventative medicine: people and organisations can thrive, and costs of solving staffing problems are reduced. What does good performance management look like? What does a good Performance Agreement look like? We’ll talk about it today.

We’ll also commence work on our coaching program project – to develop a Performance Agreement template for frontline staff.

Session 2 – Performance Appraisal and Managing Under Performance – Wednesday 23 June 2021 at 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm SA & NT and 12 noon 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…. – Wednesday 30 June 2021 at 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm SA & NT and 12 noon WA)

Over the last two weeks participants have been developing a Performance Agreement template for the ‘employment consultant role’. Today is ‘show and tell’ day! What performance indicators did you include in your template? How will you measure performance, and what will your evidence sources be?

SUMMARY

This webinar is aimed at staff who are meeting with job seekers regularly. Setting goals and strategies for helping job seekers develop their readiness to take up employment is what our sector is all about. In some instances the strategies will be as simple as targeted marketing of employers. However, for those job seekers who have been out of work for some time or who live in recessed labour markets, a longer term approach needs to be taken to helping those job seekers prepare for work.

Listen to the WA president of the Career Development Association of Australia, Rebecca Herbertson discuss:

  • The importance of always having an agenda and what this might look like
  • Magic Questions – Start of the process
  • The art of Goal setting with job seekers
  • Reverse career pathway planning
  • The simple career pathway
  • The action planning process

SUMMARY

The webinar has been designed to support staff primarily working with job seekers over the telephone.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Preparing the call ahead of time to assure the clarity of your message
  • Stress management techniques for centralised contact systems staff
  • De-escalating conversations with angry/agitated/confused job seekers
  • Techniques for sourcing the information from job seekers that providers need

TARGET GROUP

Frontline

SUMMARY

We all experience resistance to change. It is our internal psychological reaction to change; and it occurs at a subconscious level. The good news is, we can modify how we respond to resistance, and this can lead to break throughs, like eliminating procrastination, being conscious of avoidance and most importantly, increasing your job seeker cooperation and enthusiasm. Clare will show you how.

Tune in and hear about:

  • The nature and influences of change
  • Our brains and change and why our communication approach means everything
  • A framework for consistently crafting your change message and communicating with an individual

 

Facilitator

Clare edwards

Clare is a change-maker. She helps organisations to tap into the collective potential of their people so that they can master personal leadership, thrive in change and stay fully engaged.
A passionate storyteller and inspiring speaker, Clare takes her audiences on an experiential journey, leaving them filled with new insights, keen to know more and motivated to change.
Clare’s corporate background spans 2 decades of working in senior management roles with global IT companies, surviving the dot com ‘boom and bust’ of the early millennium and thriving in complex, fast-paced change environments.
Clare makes the complex simple. She has studied neuroleadership extensively and brings theory and concepts to life helping people to uncover the full potential of their amazing brain and its ability to change – without the psychobabble.

We’re the super fund for those who value more than just financial success. The fund for community minded people who see no reason to sacrifice integrity for performance, or vice versa. Our members include educators, employment services and health care workers, community service providers, public sector, police and emergency service workers.

REDEFINING THE ROLE OF SUPER

Our members work in roles that breathe life into their communities. They expect us to do the same and to share their values. That’s why we work with members to redefine what super can be for them and their communities, today and tomorrow.

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DIFFERENCE WE CAN MAKE

We’re Australia’s second largest industry fund, managing over $140 billion in savings. Our investments include renewables, affordable housing, infrastructure and new technologies, helping to create jobs, build a more productive economy, and support the communities where our members live, work and retire.

LIVING UP TO OUR NAME

We’ve been putting members first as First State Super since 1992 and became Aware Super in September 2020. Aware Super is simply a new name for how we’ve always been. We’ve made our members a promise: to do well for them by doing good for all – a bold promise we find new ways to keep every day. Find out more at aware.com.au
