| Venue: The training workshop will be held at SDPI or in a local hotel in Islamabad. |
Introduction
Evaluating employee performance is a key responsibility of managers. Performance appraisals, a powerful tool, provide documented feedback on an employee's level of performance. They help determine continued employment, promotion, transfer, bonuses, and pay raises, and allow for improved communications between managers and employees. The actual performance appraisal documents become part of an employee's permanent record and can greatly influence lives and careers.
A poorly-managed evaluation system can be used against an employer in court. Managers must recognize the potential ramifications of failing to adequately manage employees' performance. They must be ready, willing, and able to communicate clear expectations, provide support to achieve those expectations, and develop and professionally present a factual and well-documented performance evaluation to ensure effectiveness of their review process and safeguard the company/ organization from legal liability.
The aim of this training is to assist supervisors to understand how to properly manage and document the performance of those who report to them for employee motivation, performance, and productivity.
Who should attend?
The training workshop is designed for managers and supervisors who are (or who will be) expected to manage employee performance and conduct employee performance appraisals. The training will be useful for participants from industry, social sector and development organizations, academia, funding agencies, NGOs, consultants, and public organizations.
