Creative Ideas for Appraisal Training

default-16x9

hi, I deliver appraisal training and more than it just being a tick-box exercise, I am keen to link the process with the psychological needs it fulfills.  I believe that people function better if they know what to do but more importantly why it is important and how it fits into the bigger picture.  I am using this subject to write a specialist paper for my Cert Ed qualification and would like to present it using something creative for delegates to do which I will try out in my sessions at work. 

If you have any offerings at all, I will be eternally grateful.

Thanks, Deb

  1. “creative” is relative….

    Hi Deb

    Solely reading your post it sounds as if the training you deliver is pretty dry and procedural…this isn’t a criticism but a qualification of the proposal I’m making.

    Get the delegates on the course to brainstorm and discuss the benefits of a good, well thought out and well used appraisal system to Managers, Customers and Staff.  (Remembering that every "manager" is also a member of "staff" ie appraises others and is appraised him/her self).  Although many of these benefits will be tangible (eg increase productivity, deliver correct goods or services) many will be psychological (clarify objectives, clarify aspirations, give a sense of worth/purpose)

    This helps take appraisal away from being "a pain-in-the-**** once a year administrative exercise carried out just to keep the HR department off our backs" to "something that we should all welcome that is a culmination of the year of manager/staff member dialogue.

    All this of course does depend on the parameters of "appraisal"!
