Description

This book gives you all the easy-to-use tools they need to conduct an effective review — including sample dialogs, checklists, and forms.

When not handled correctly, performance appraisals can turn into nerve-wracking confrontations. If employees and managers aren’t on the same page about expectations and performance, the working relationship can be seriously harmed.

Productive Performance Appraisals shows you how to:

• plan and organize the appraisal session
• set short- and long-term goals
• elicit the employee’s input
• handle problems and “sticky” subjects such as promotions and disagreements.

This invaluable resource has new sections on rating employees, justifying scores, and weaving disciplinary language into the review. You will also find guidance on developing career plans, keeping consistent records, communicating changes in roles, how reviews are used when determining layoffs, and much more.
