Performance Review Series

It's not surprising that so many managers dread giving performance reviews. They know the importance of employee performance reviews, but this rarely makes having to do them any less painful. In fact, because they often end up being emotionally charged, they are seen more as 'excruciating' than 'crucial'.

To overcome this, we identify six very different characters that managers can relate to: Defensive Dennis, Weepy Wendy, Silent Steve, Non-stick Nigel, Bolshy Becky and Bored Betty. Through these characters we are able to demonstrate key review techniques managers can develop. By making them less confrontational and more productive, managers will be able to fearlessly deal with all performance reviews.
 

Part 2:  Every Appraisee's Dream

From the appraisee's point of view, the performance review often feels like a waste of time. But this program shows just how well they can go when handled properly by both parties. The appraisee may feel there's nothing they can do or say to affect the outcome. In fact, there are positive steps that can be taken to improve their review, and the secret is 'be prepared'.

In Part 2, we reveal a simple three-part formula to help the appraisee with their thinking process: (a) the past - what went right last year and what didn't, (b) the present - any current issues about the job, and (c) the future - where the appraisee wants to go and how to get there. Part 2 also shows managers and appraisees what reviews can achieve when everything goes right.
