Managing and Improving Poor Performance 2022 – 12 April 2022 (On Demand)

Description

Improve poor performance and follow a fair performance management process to comply with the law

Most managers will have to deal with poor performers at some stage.

Maybe you have staff members who show up late to meetings, make too many mistakes, or miss deadlines.

Perhaps you’ve lost clients over an employee’s poor attitude, or colleagues in your team have complained.

Even though you’re fed up with poor performance, do you avoid formal processes for fear of getting the process wrong?

If you want a productive team, manage poor performers before they cause a problem for your colleagues, customers, and clients.

In our practical and engaging webinar, you will find out how to manage staff who are under-performing.
