Course outline

Performance Management Training Courses in London

Addressing staffing challenges helps middle and senior managers to contribute to organisational effectiveness; a failure to do so damages all stakeholders. This management skills course focuses particularly on working within an appropriate policy and legal framework to secure desired outcomes. Over the day you will cover:

• the law on performance, absence and stress, particularly disability
• dealing with cases alleging victimisation, bullying and harassment
• managing absence - acceptable levels, short and long term issues, medical support
• responsibilities of employers and employees in stress cases
• setting and communicating performance standards
• appraisals and supervision
• addressing unacceptable performance - indiscipline, underachievement, and how to tackle concerns fairly and effectively
• a year of free support

The course will make extensive use of group discussion, sharing of experiences and problems, and a number of case studies based on real experience, as well as offering guidance on appropriate policy frameworks.
