Employee Performance Appraisals: Differentiating Between High and Low Performers
Effective evaluations of employee performance tie into almost every facet of human resources management. High performing employees are held accountable for their own individual success and can push forward agency improvement initiatives and projects at all levels. An effective employee performance management system is linked to agency mission and goals, has clear performance measures and truly recognizes and rewards outstanding performance. Managers must learn to move away from categorical performance rankings to a performance evaluation system that distinguishes between high and low performance, and put into place intermediate outcome measures for both projects and employees. These measures will help departments easily determine who should receive incentives and who should not.

This 90 minute audio conference will focus on developing employee performance evaluations that differentiate between high and low performers and comply with government mandates. You will acquire the techniques to recognize employee potential and transform those employees into the leaders of the future.

Attend this Audio Conference and Learn How To:

• Develop clearly outlined variables to differentiate between high and low performance
• Make meaningful distinctions based on relative performance
• Create individual development plans to identify short term goals, mid-term goals and long-term career goals
• Identify activities that will help your employees enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities
