Conduct employee appraisals

Effective communication for strong collaboration

Two speech bubbles, each with a face in orange and turquoise, conversation

Motivated and satisfied employees who identify with the company and are committed to the common goals in the long term - this is the most important basis for competitiveness and future viability in any industry. But on the way there, employee appraisals are one of the most important management tools. In this coaching session, you will learn how to conduct these discussions effectively and how to remain confident when dealing with different discussion situations.


Pain points: These are the hurdles when conducting performance reviews
Performance reviews are often not as productive and effective because managers do not take the time to prepare. As a result, the meeting lacks structure and important points are not addressed at all. In addition, it can quickly happen that employees don't feel that they are being taken seriously if a conversation takes place on the fly.

An appraisal interview should have clear objectives and expectations. If these are not clearly defined, the discussion can lose its direction and leave both sides unclear. It is also a common mistake for managers to treat an appraisal interview as a one-way street in which only the manager speaks and employees listen.

However, it is important to actively involve the employee in the interview situation and give them the opportunity to ask questions, give feedback and express their own concerns honestly and without fear. During the performance review, managers should show empathy and actively listen to the employee. A common mistake is not taking the other person seriously, playing down their concerns or not understanding their point of view. This usually results in a breakdown in trust and frustration.

Why is it worth expanding employee appraisal skills?

Employee appraisals offer a great opportunity for a direct exchange between managers and employees. Through open and constructive discussions, an appreciative exchange can take place about expectations, goals, achievements and desired performance. Through targeted discussions, managers can promote both the motivation and commitment of their employees - because they feel heard and valued through constructive feedback discussions. By giving them the opportunity to express their opinions, ideas and concerns, this increases loyalty to the company and employee satisfaction.
Employee appraisals also provide a platform for addressing conflicts or problems that often remain unresolved in the hectic pace of everyday life, smoulder in the background and then escalate at some point. The coaching course "Conducting appraisal interviews" provides you with specific skills to improve your leadership skills in the areas of communication, active listening, giving feedback and conflict resolution.

For whom is the coaching "Conducting appraisal interviews" useful?

Managers with personnel responsibility who want to improve their leadership skills and learn effective communication techniques in order to successfully conduct employee appraisals in the future will benefit most from the program.

HR specialists and personnel managers can also improve the quality of employee appraisals in their area of responsibility by expanding their skills and thus make a major contribution to successful employee development.
