A Special Announcement! Performance Management for New Leaders and Other Beginners Coaching Program

Hi Colleague

Performance Management for New Leaders and Other Beginners
3 PART ONLINE COACHING PROGRAM
Starts Thursday 4 February 2021 | 12.00pm AEDT

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.

What You Can Expect:

Session 1: Performance Management Framework? It is much more than a Performance Agreement! – Thursday 4 February 2021 at 12 noon AEDT
In this session we will look at performance management and why it is 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 will talk about it today. We will also commence work on our coaching program project – to develop a Performance Agreement template for frontline staff.

Session 2: Performance Appraisal – The Rules of Evidence – Thursday 11 February 2021 at 12 noon AEDT
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 today’s session we will look at the Performance Appraisal process.

Session 3: Managing Under Performance – Thursday 18 February 2021 at 12 noon AEDT
Over the last two weeks participants have been developing a Performance Agreement template for the employment consultant role. What performance indicators did you include in your template? How will you measure performance, and what will your evidence sources be? How do we manage under performance?
