Effective Appraisals Workshop

Places still available on our Effective Appraisals Workshop

Thursday 19 March 2020

Delivered by our HR Associate, Chris Moses, LLM Chartered FCIPD, this workshop will provide practical guidance on how to conduct effective appraisals. Chris will not only cover the theory of good practice but also through real examples and case studies will demonstrate the pitfalls of poorly managed appraisals, or indeed when such performance management is entirely lacking.

This workshop will cover:

• Benefits of Appraisals & potential pitfalls

• Potential Pitfalls

• Setting out the Agenda and use of Appraisal forms – choice of appraisal forms.

• Preparing the Environment – ensuring that it is conducive to an effective Appraisal

• Conducting the meeting – questioning skills

• Giving Feedback

• Action Planning – ensuring that it is effective and will be implemented.

• Informing the Council of the Outcome and Action Plan – what should remain confidential.

Chris has been working with Local Councils for several years and is best placed to fully appreciate the challenges of good HR in our sector. This course is strongly recommended for Councillors and Officers who have responsibilities for personnel and people management.
