Overview/Description
This content is replaced by "Appraising Performance Simulation", Simulation ID: MGMT011A.
Consider your last performance appraisal. Was it a positive experience? Did it give you a clear idea of which areas you performed well in and which areas required more attention? And what about afterward? Did your manager continue to provide you with feedback all throughout the year? Or are you still waiting until your next evaluation to see how you've performed?
Contrary to the experience of many employees, performance appraisals require more than a once-a-year feedback session to be effective--they require ongoing dialogue. Unfortunately, most managers view appraisals as an unwelcome intrusion to their already busy schedules. As such, they rush to get through the whole experience, neglecting the benefits of an otherwise very valuable tool.
The Performance Appraisal Simulation is designed to help supervisors and managers breathe new life into their performance appraisals, making them valuable tools for directing the performance of their employees throughout the entirety of the year. Over the course of the simulation, participants will practice key appraisal skills, including assessing performance, conducting appraisals, and motivating and developing employees, in order to improve the effectiveness of their appraisals and enhance the performance of their employees.
The Performance Appraisal Simulation comprises four scenarios and is based on the SkillSoft series "Performance Appraisal." Throughout the simulation links are provided to the following SkillSoft courses: MGMT0341 and MGMT0342.
Target Audience
Supervisors, managers, and human resource managers with responsibility for conducting performance appraisals
