Writing Performance Appraisals
Do your managers and supervisors find themselves struggling for the right words to evaluate an employee’s performance? Does writing performance appraisals take up far too much of their time?
One of the most important jobs of managers is making sure their employees are working effectively and achieving results. Clear, ongoing communications, including written performance documentation, is a key part of that process. This half day course is designed to make the process of writing performance appraisals easier and more efficient.
Our Approach:
- To ensure that our training meets the participants’ needs, we customize the curriculum after assessing writing samples and reviewing objectives.
- During training, we encourage active participation through discussion and practice.
- Participants apply concepts and techniques by evaluating, editing, planning and drafting job-related documents with one-to-one feedback from the instructor.
Depending on the needs of your group, participants will learn:
- The criteria for effective performance documentation.
- How to use “SMART” terms to describe performance.
- How to support conclusions, ratings, recommendations, and actions with descriptions and examples.
- How to write effective performance objectives.
