Day-to-Day Performance Management
Adding real value to your team

Intended audience:

All Personnel Managers, Staff Development Managers, Assistant Principals, Cross College Managers, Curriculum Managers, Programme Area Managers and Team Leaders.

Focus:

The Government and Ofsted have a clear agenda to continuously raise standards in colleges and your staff play a crucial role.  Motivating, supporting and developing staff is a challenging part of any managers job, but is central to responding to this initiative and adding real value to your team and to the organisation.  As your most important resource staff need to be managed effectively.

This event considers the role of both on-going performance management and more formal ‘appraisals’ or ‘performance reviews’ but focuses mainly on the practical aspects of managing performance on a day-to-day basis. The core interpersonal skills needed to lead and manage staff effectively including building rapport, giving and receiving feedback, and choosing an appropriate management style for differing levels of motivation and capability, will be reviewed and practiced. Consideration will be given to evaluating performance, setting objectives, clarifying expectations, reviewing and monitoring progress and identifying and addressing issues promptly.

Purpose:

During this event you will:

• review responsibilities for, and attitudes towards, managing performance
• understand the performance management cycle – formal and informal
• examine ways of assessing and reviewing performance
• identify how to set meaningful targets and action plans
• enhance your feedback, key communication and delegation skills
• consider practical ways of increasing individual motivation
• review a range of developmental tools and options

A full set of course materials will be provided for delegates to use in their own institutions.

Fees:

£225.00 + VAT
