Seminar Confidently Conducting Staff Appraisals
Seminar language: German
From Sabine Walter
In many companies, staff appraisals are scheduled at the beginning of the new year. And although they are a central management tool, they often lead a neglected existence.
Main reason number one: Well-managed appraisal interviews require time.
In this seminar we focus on three aspects: "What is part of good interview preparation? "How can you conduct appraisal interviews at eye level?" and "What are the potential pitfalls and how can you avoid them?
