MOTIVATE EMPLOYEES TOWARD EXCELLENCE

As leaders, we give feedback to employees in hopes of creating commitments to doing more of what's working well and less of what's not, as well as creating a sense of buy-in, understanding, and dedication. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon in organizations to see efforts at providing feedback backfire and create hurt, confusion, and apathy. In this workshop, you will learn to maximize the effectiveness of evaluations and learn best-practice skills for motivating employees toward excellence. 

In this workshop we will explore: 

• The heart of effective performance reviews: Morale, trust, and respect in the workplace 

• Proactive relationship building:  Connecting with employees in regular one-on-one meetings  

• Beginning with the end in mind: Identifying and communicating the all-important “net message” 

• How to give feedback while reducing defensiveness - at the same time 

• What not to bring up: How and why to filter out certain performance-related feedback  

• Strategies for effectively dealing with employee resistance 

• Action plans: Goal setting, commitment, coaching and accountability
