10 Steps to Flawless Appraisal Interviews - TakeAway Training Film Series

Synopsis

"The TakeAway Training Film Series" comprises short, practical training films providing managers, supervisors and staff with techniques, advice and ideas on some of the key areas of their job. The series which features 'talking head discussion' between psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry, is designed for learning resource centres and management self-development. When the first titles in the series appeared, "People Management Journal" said: '...one of the main selling points is that they firmly place responsibility for learning with the learner...They could be used either as stand-alone distance learning tools or as part of a training session. I am sure that any viewer will be able to take up their basic principles and apply them'. Performance appraisals are one of the most unpopular managerial tasks. Psychologist Peter Quarry gives ten practical tips on how to conduct an appraisal interview to achieve positive and useful outcomes that will benefit the employee and whole organisation. Peter explores: how to avoid nasty surprises; what to base the appraisal on; using forms and rating sheets; getting commitment to the discussion; the rules of giving feedback; and, making sure there is a positive outcome.
