Have Some Questions?

Here are some of the common questions we get asked about our appraisal skills training course:

Our appraisal skills courses are delivered by our friendly and highly experienced trainers. We live and breathe what we talk about in these sessions as we use most of the tools and techniques ourselves on a daily bases and bring this real-world experience into the session and the examples that we use.

An appraisal is a conversation that takes place between a leader or a manager and their team member where the team members performance is reviewed and goals, targets and objectives set for the next appraisal period. The meeting takes place anywhere from one a month to once a year, depending on the companies individual process.

It’s perception. For many, appraisals are just something we ‘have to do’. They can easily become a tick box exercise, rather than a process that drives performance and motivation. If done well, appraisals should be seen to be a very positive process.

If you attend our scheduled online open course, you are more than welcome to bring along your documentation and process and use it to apply the skills and ideas from the course to this. If we deliver this in-house for you then we will ask for this as part of our initial conversations to use in the course.

Yes. We have lots of articles about appraisal skills in the appraisals section of our blog..
