One of the most critical areas of employee relationships and one of the biggest challenges management faces today is conducting effective performance appraisals and determining appropriate merit increases. Join this information packed live webinar by Chris DeVany and learn to give performance appraisals that help motivate employees to achieve goals and increase their value to the organization.

In order to function at maximum effectiveness, a manager must master critical communication skills, including active listening, the ability to receive and provide constructive feedback, to resolve conflicts and to coach and mentor. Since both managers and employees often view performance appraisals with anxiety, attention is given to preparing for and conducting performance discussions that are objective, complete and defensible. During the webinar, you'll be able to share experiences and participate in various exercises with other participants to better understand how to obtain the best possible performance from employees.
