This session on conducting a performance review interview (appraisal) aims to help you understand the characteristics of effective reviews, and how to make sure that YOUR performance review interviews have them.
It focusses on the structure and skills of effective performance review interviews, as well as considering the on-going things that you should be doing to manage the performance of your team.
