For years, John Geddie has listened to engineers say that they aren't getting regular performance reviews, so he began to investigate why. The answer proved to simply be: managers are uncomfortable with the process. They'd prefer to have their staff fill out a form and quantify performance rather than have a dialogue with employees.

Join John to discover how it's easier and more effective for managers to engage employees through a coaching method rather than the traditional model of performance appraisal. During this 60-minute session, you'll also learn ways to measure employee performance when working remotely and how to help staff set meaningful goals even when you're not speaking in person.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Discover the power of goal-setting with your employees

• Understand how to set clear expectations

• Find out how to make appraisals positive rather than a chore

• Learn the differences between coaching for performance and coaching for development
