In an environment with a positive approach to performance and development, what might you notice?
In this workshop, we explore best practices for conducting performance evaluations and setting personal and organizational goals. Performance evaluations are one element of performance management that are designed to improve communication between supervisors and staff and to facilitate the development of clear expectations and performance standards.
