Organisations that are getting ahead are not focusing on adding more processes. They are focusing on creating better conversations that help people perform, develop, and contribute to business success.
This practical, no-nonsense webinar explores how to evaluate the health of your existing performance management approach and identify what needs to change. Rather than treating performance management as an annual form, a rating, or an uncomfortable conversation, you will discover how to make it a continuous and valuable part of the employee experience.
Debbie Venables will walk through the six areas that make the real difference between performance management that works and performance management that is simply paperwork. You will also complete a live health check that you can start using during the session.

It will be especially valuable for organisations that want to:

Why Attend?
The quality of managers plays a significant role in team engagement, making effective management conversations an essential part of high performance. Organisations that focus on people’s performance are more likely to outperform their peers, while highly engaged teams can deliver stronger profitability and business results.
Yet, for many organisations, performance management still means an annual form, a rating, and a conversation that both the manager and employee would rather avoid. This approach can leave people feeling placed in boxes and can slow the business down instead of moving it forward.
This session will give you practical ideas to help transform performance management from a process people endure into a set of conversations that support clarity, accountability, development, and performance.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of the six areas that matter most, a practical health-check tool, and actionable insights to help improve your organisation’s approach.
