TEC Featured Course of the Month
Reviewing Performance (MGMT0342)
(available online at {http://www.towson.edu/tec})
Appraisal interviews are the culmination of the ongoing performance appraisal process. Appraisal meetings aren’t always easy encounters, even when they are planned. Sometimes, managers have to tell employees that their performance isn’t good enough – despite all efforts. This course gives sound practical advice about how to handle the appraisals of consistently poor performers. Since appraisees aren’t always passive recipients of their manager’s assessments, this course prepares managers for the more difficult reactions they may encounter. Managers must also develop better performance in their employees. This means both creating the best performance opportunities and identifying steps to develop their team members. This course explains how training can be used effectively and purposefully in development.
