Writing Effective Performance Reviews – Yours and Theirs!

This workshop is for those responsible for writing performance evaluations for subordinates and for those asked to write his or her own review.

  • As a leader and manager, you are asked to conduct performance evaluations of others and often for yourselves. The ability to conduct and to write productive performance evaluations are skills that can be learned. Managers are often adept at communicating about topics which are measureable, topics such as job responsibilities, skills and goal achievement; yet even this can be challenging when expectations have not been clearly defined.
  • For many, It is difficult to do an assessment of behavior; interpersonal skills collaboration, attitude and motivation. When there is need for improvement, many managers have a difficult time communicating this information in a way that leaves the employee feeling supported and maximizes the impact on future performance.
  • Join us for an interactive 2 hours where you will have the opportunity to practice writing and conducting effective performance reviews.

WEBINAR:
Using LinkedIn as a Strategic Tool

This workshop is unique – it shows you not only how to use LinkedIn, but also why. The majority of LinkedIn users who create a profile, join some groups, and then sit back and wait for the magic to happen. This is like buying a hammer and expecting it to build an addition to your house – all by itself. Like the hammer, LinkedIn is a tool. Before you start building that addition, you determined what the end result would be, and created a blueprint. This workshop helps you create your LinkedIn blueprint. You'll determine what you want LinkedIn to do (position you as an expert in your field, increase visibility to recruiters and hiring managers, build your network, generate business leads, etc.).

This workshop is hands-on – you'll be working on your own profile and network. You'll also receive a detailed workbook with step-by-step instructions and screen shots for you to use as a reference tool after the class.
