The Appraisal Discussion

Introduction

Managers who do not understand how to conduct an effective appraisal discussion are unlikely to motivate and develop their people, a situation that could have serious implications for their business.

Discussing progress and development is central to the appraisal process, yet conducting an effective appraisal discussion is a skill many managers and leaders lack.

The Appraisal Discussion provides guidance on how to conduct an effective appraisal discussion.

This course is appropriate to any business sector, there are no formal entry requirements and employees do not require any prior experience.
