Managing Performance to Increase Productivity
Duration of the Programme: One Day
Cost of Programme: £650.00
Maximum Number of Learners: 10
Programme Overview:
Management is ultimately about getting things done through others. Without a structured and clear approach to managing performance, where employees know what is expected of them and how they should approach their role, a manager is unable to effectively meet the level of productivity that is required. This will reflect badly on them and can impact on their own development.
Therefore, managing performance can be one of the single most important things for a manager to get right. This requires a goal-focused, common-sense approach to working with employees that ensures they are motivated and focused on success.
What you will learn:
At the end of this managing performance training course, your participants will be able to:
- Manage performance by setting clearly aligned goals that are documented
- Identify causes of poor performance whilst working with employees to improve and develop
- Recognise and communicate success, focusing on behaviour and results
- Co-operate with employees in order to increase productivity, morale and motivation
The Importance of Managing Performance – Establishing the key elements to a managing performance approach, why this is important and the benefits it can have for a manager.
Making Performance Management Work – Changing current perceptions to performance management and highlighting the key factors that will help make it a success for managers.

Who is it for?
This programme is suitable for any manager or person within a business or organisation that needs to drive performance or is new to the responsibilities of management.
An effective performance management process encourages your managers and employees to have regular ongoing conversations about goals and expectations, accomplishments and challenges, as well as development needs. This ensures your employees get the feedback and recognition they need to continue to improve and succeed.
Remember: Performance management is the continuous process of improving performance by setting individual and team goals which are aligned to the strategic goals of the organisation, planning performance to achieve the goals, reviewing and assessing progress, and developing the knowledge, skills and abilities of people, will in turn support the overall performance of the business.
