Performance Coaching and Feedback Skills: Get Employee Cooperation to Improve Performance on a Daily Basis
Bring HumaNext to deliver this one day workshop to your managers & supervisors to dramatically improve performance and engagement.
Most managers know they need to provide coaching and feedback to their employees, and intend it to be informative and helpful, not demoralizing. Most employees know that coaching and delivering performance feedback is part of their manager’s job.
Yet, many feedback sessions result in defensiveness, blame, excuses, and complaining, making them unproductive and uncomfortable for managers and employees. They end up creating conflict and bad feelings that damage performance instead of improving it.
It’s often because of the way feedback is delivered: as a lecture instead of a dialogue; as criticism instead of help; as one-sided because the manager does all of the talking; as unfair because positive feedback is rarely given; as dictatorial because employee concerns are ignored, and for other reasons.
It may be feedback that’s delivered during performance appraisals, or to correct unproductive work behaviors such as arriving for work late; not following procedures; criticizing other employees, surfing the internet instead of working, etc.
In this workshop, managers will learn coaching and feedback skills to give employees feedback the way they want to receive it; resolve concerns or negative resistance; give positive feedback effectively; gain employee cooperation to improve performance; and develop more high-performing employees.
It’s not a power point lecture; instead, participants learn through demonstrations; discovery; small group activities; and skill practices.

Performance Appraisals: Getting Results (Training Video)
How to get the best from your employees and tackle poor performance before it becomes a habit.
Effective performance appraisals add value to your organization. They motivate your top employees to do even better. And they tell under-performers exactly what is expected and how to improve.
Unfortunately, performance appraisals are often regarded as mere formalities. Reviews are sometimes skipped, or done late. Clear guidance falls by the wayside, and halfhearted work goes unchallenged.
In this new video, you'll follow two dramatic story lines. One involves a small business, taking steps to formalize a review process for the first time. The other presents a large corporation, attempting to energize an existing system. Watch as two very different managers prepare for challenging review meetings--and see them apply skills that defuse tension and achieve the desired results.
Viewers learn:
- Steps you should be taking in your appraisal process.
- The advantages of sticking to a regular schedule.
- The importance of fairness and consistency.
- The nuts and bolts of formats and record-keeping.
- Methods of motivating the top producers.
- How to deal with under-performers.
- Skills for the face-to-face review meeting.
- The value of employee feedback.
This video shows that effective reviews can increase productivity, resolve problems, and improve work satisfaction-both for employees and their managers.
Guarantee: Viewers will see the appraisal process as an effective management tool, and gain new skills to handle review meetings with confidence.
Video type DVD with an Instructor's Manual and one free study guide. Length: 18 mins. Purchase for $156.95
