Summary

This DVD is an in-depth demonstration of staff appraisal showing the most productive way to plan, conduct and follow-up an appraisal interview.

The opening sequence illustrates the all-too-common manager-led appraisal, where the appraisal is more like a meeting - controlled and dictated by the manager. We are then taken back over the interview step-by-step, stage-by-stage, and shown ways of making the appraisal interview a productive process for appraiser and appraisee. Breaking down the appraisal into logical stages and focusing on each in turn, provides an easy-to-follow, clear and highly effective method of appraisal skills training.

Learning points - How to:

plan, prepare and structure an effective appraisal
open the interview and set the agenda
use different questions to gather information
agree and define objectives and actions for the future
involve the appraisee in their own review and development.

Duration: 45 minutes
