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.
