NewPerformance Reviews: pathway to future development

Performance reviews are part of a holistic approach to managing individual performances and it is an important part of the Performance Management Cycle. These reviews should be positive experience which motivate, inspire and support employee’s growth and give them confidence.

• So how often should organisations be holding performance reviews?
• What should make these reviews to be an engaging, uplifting and mutually effective experience?

With the changing times, the traditional annual reviews have had limitations such as it focused on past performance, the process was time consuming and bureaucratic feedback came from single source only and was not frequent enough.

More and more organisations are steering away from the traditional annual performance review towards more regular and development focused, real-time feedback discussions – the future-proofing performance process in this fast changing, agile work environment is a way to boost productivity and meet the demands of today’s workforce.

This webinar with Maria Older, our experienced trainer and a highly inspirational Leadership Development Professional, who has worked in organisations across the globe working with their performance management practices, takes us through various aspects of performance reviews and how they can contribute to enhanced productivity. She will discuss areas such:

1. Criteria concerning measuring performance and setting strategic goals/objectives.
2. Alignment of competencies of individuals and organisations
3. Conducting meaningful performance review conversations - what makes an employee feel valued, motivated, and productive.
4. About the development conversations:

• skills needed.
• use of sources of feedback, (121 discussions, 360/180 questionnaires).
• style and attitude of the individuals involved in the review process.
• the impact of biases and the culture

This webinar will consider a number of key questions including:

• How to measure performance and set strategic goals?
• How do they fit with the wider performance management strategy?
• What are the different approaches?
• How do you manage an effective development conversation?

This webinar is suitable for first-time managers, supervisors and team leaders who are responsible for individuals’ performance but also those with some experience who are keen to refresh skills and gain some new ideas.
