Appraisal schemes are one of the hardest HR activities to get right in an organisation – but also one of the most crucial tools for a manager; informing recruitment, succession plans and aiding retention, motivation and productivity.

The workshop will cover:

• The performance cycle
• Motivation and performance
• Objective setting
• Managing different levels of performance
• Feedback and difficult conversations
• Performance reviews/appraisals
• Links to reward and remuneration
