CHRP Recertification Points: 1

This session is designed to link the two most powerful tools available to a manager or an HR staff-person to improve performance, and coincidentally, employee satisfaction and retention.

Fair, clear and practical assessment of past performance, with a view to establishing desired future performance is the first tool. The second tool is the development of effective and consistent coaching practices that are linked to and supportive of the appraisal and targets of each employee.

• Establish how these elements can be combined to create a performance development cycle,
• Consider barriers and obstacles regarding the performance development cycle,
• Establish a performance appraisal checklist,
• Identify the resources necessary to create and sustain such a program
• Consider a Coaching Culture
