Appraisal Skills

The first thing HBT will tell you is that you can call it something else! Most of the several hundred companies we have worked with on appraisals called us in because their people were struggling with the process. We believe appraisals can be developed and managed in a positive way that benefits everyone in the business. The focus of our workshop is on developing the skills to facilitate a meaningful, positive, solution focused discussion about performance and development.

Most people want to know how well they are performing and most people also want to ensure their self-esteem is safe! The key themes we explore in this inspirational (yes, inspirational!) workshop, are listening, questioning, empathy, feedback, performance standards, development options, action and business focus. We encourage delegates to bring their own appraisal processes along to discuss. We also provide several templates for a variety of appraisal formats as well as some alternative names for the process. 

This HBT workshop provides ideas, skills practices and inspiration for managers who are new to the process as well as to more experienced managers who want to refresh their approach to this key management interaction. Call us now for details. HBT also provide consultancy on setting up and developing appraisal and performance management systems including competency frameworks.
