  • Overview

    The aim

    To teach managers the five-step process for conducting an employee performance improvement discussion.


    About the programme

    Positive Performance Coaching is achievable when supervisors and managers have the right training and this practical programme teaches a simple, yet highly effective, five-step process for correcting negative performance.

    1) Identify the problem - the gap between the actual and desired behaviour
    2) Analyse the problem's severity - determine the impact and consequences of the behaviour if it is not corrected
    3) Discuss the problem - with the employee, gain their agreement on a solution
    4) Document the discussion - including the history of the problem and what was said and agreed upon
    5) Follow-up to monitor results - recognise improvements, or take action if the problem hasn't resolved.


    The key outcomes

    -Learn to thoroughly prepare for an employee performance improvement discussion (and understand the importance of going in prepared)
    -Know how to analyse and define a performance problem
    -Take effective notes and agree action steps
    -Learn how to shift ownership of the problem's resolution to the employee
    -Achieve the desired outcome without losing employee commitment.
