5. Mastering Performance Reviews
Just as faculty members evaluate students on their performance in courses through papers, tests, classroom discussion, etc., managers evaluate employees on the quality and quantity of their work performance. These evaluations are made every day, every week, every month, depending on how closely the manager works with or observes his/her employees. These informal ratings form the basis for what we now call the more formal "performance appraisal" or "performance review".
This program is designed to:
Clarify the manager's role as a communicator, counselor and mentor.
Guide the manager through the process: from preparing for and conducting the appraisal session, to concluding the appraisal session, with follow-up.
Target Audience: Managers and supervisors responsible for managing the performance of others.
Date: May 23rd; Time: 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Define Positive Confrontation, and determine when you should use it
