Presentation
HR leaders and managers, like line managers, conduct annual appraisals and career development interviews. For some, this is routine; for others, it is a challenge.
HR interviews are important milestones and valuable opportunities for discussion, recognition and encouragement between managers and employees. Constructive dialogue requires fair, solution-focused assessment suited to the employee's level of independence.
This 10.5-hour course draws on your assessment documents and incorporates your organisational culture or HR strategy. It equips managers and HR professionals to prepare and conduct constructive career development and annual appraisal interviews.
The resources and tools in this 3-day course help participants base assessment on observable situations, identify key circumstances and give employees the means to take an active role in their professional development. Feeling responsible, heard and supported encourages motivation and improves individual and collective performance.
