“The big thing here is that the performance discussion should not include any surprises for the employee.”
Providing positive feedback to your team member is the easy part, but what happens when the conversation is a little more difficult and includes some ways an employee needs to improve? For new managers, coaching and constructive criticism can be difficult. An effective manager needs to feel confident in their feedback so that their employee can positively improve their work.
Rhonda Wheelous, Director of Client Services at PrestigePEO, returns for further discussion on performance management. Listen to this episode for a rundown on coaching an employee to improve, written warnings and Performance Improvement Plans (PIP), and how to reinforce better behavior.
Highlights Include:
- When you should coach an employee and when you need to provide a written warning
- What a written warning looks like and what it should include
- How to provide specific and effective compliments to reinforce good performance
- How to make performance evaluations simple by preparing notes ahead of time
