NESA Coaching Program
Performance Management for new Leaders
ONLINE | 3 PARTS
WEDNESDAY 7, 14 AND 21 SEPTEMBER 2022
2.00PM - 3.00pm AEST
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!
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
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….
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?
