Managing Under Performance

Performance issues in the workplace, whether capability or conduct, will have an impact in the workplace in terms of: the team morale, productivity, disruption, poor customer service, which in turn is a cost to the business. This one-day course is aimed at equipping managers and supervisors to influence and affect sustained performance improvement. It will provide guidance on how to diagnose problems, make timely interventions and provide a supportive environment to underpin good performance.

Employees have a contractual responsibility to achieve a satisfactory level of performance and should be given help and encouragement to reach it. Employers are responsible for setting realistic and achievable standards, treating employees fairly, and making sure employees understand what is required.

Performance situations can be more complex and more difficult to deal with than cases of straightforward misconduct.

We will be focusing on poor performance including absenteeism and taking you through ways of approaching these difficult issues.
