Agree the first three actions on continuous manager-employee feedback that will be taken on returning to work.
Managing Continuous Feedback Between Manager and Employee
Build a working method for continuous manager-employee feedback that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
A process for continuous manager-employee feedback that managers quietly work around has already failed. People decide what the people management and development discipline really means by watching who gets promoted. The professional literature on this aspect of people management and development converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme suits teams tackling continuous manager-employee feedback together as readily as individuals attending alone. Buying a tool rarely fixes this part of people management and development; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this area of people management and development and the judgement to adapt it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about continuous manager-employee feedback. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the wider people management and development agenda and supervised application. Participants leave with a plan for this part of people management and development sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
