Appraisal Skills

 This one-day course locates the appraisal interview within a wider process of continuous performance appraisal.  Delegates will examine their role as managers in order to identify the potential value to them of continuous performance appraisal.  A model for planning an appraisal cycle will be explored.  Delegates will prepare for and plan the appraisal interview and will identify and practise the skills required for conducting it; active listening, questioning summarising, giving constructive feedback, setting objectives and identifying resources needed.
