Course Benefits
Appraisals? Waste of precious time? Form filling exercise to keep HR happy?
Used well, your appraisal process could be so much more. Appraisals are a fantastic opportunity for every member of the team to get one to one attention from their manager, discussing their strengths, setting new objectives for the future and planning together how to develop their job and career further. Propeller’s Appraisal Skills course will show you how.
On the course, delegates will learn the key advantages of the process and how it can support motivation and good team management. Based on a new enthusiasm for the process, delegates will be able to communicate the benefits to their team to ensure positive participation and preparation from their appraisees. Delegates will gain a new confidence in preparing, and delivering appropriate messages to their staff, and setting goals and development plans to support improvement and progress.
Your organisation will also see surprising benefits as employees become more aligned to the goals of the business and their commitment and motivation grows.
