People Performance Management

Learning Level: Manager
Format: 3 Hours
Delivery: Virtual

When people thrive, performance follows. This practical course gives you the confidence, skills and tools to help individuals succeed, strengthen accountability and create a team environment where people feel supported and valued. 

Managing performance can often feel like a balancing act. You want to support your people, build confidence and create a positive environment, while also delivering operational targets and maintaining high standards. Yet many contact centre leaders tell us they know a performance issue exists long before they know what to do about it. 

The challenge is rarely a lack of data. Most leaders have access to dashboards, reports and measures of success. The difficulty comes in understanding what is really driving performance, identifying the root cause and having the accountable conversations needed to create lasting improvement. Too often, discussions focus on metrics rather than behaviours, capability, confidence or motivation. 

This highly practical course helps you move beyond metrics and adopt a coaching-driven, human-centred approach to performance management. You’ll learn how to spot issues early, diagnose the underlying causes of underperformance and confidently manage conversations that build trust, ownership and accountability. The course explores how performance, engagement and leadership behaviours are connected, giving you a blueprint for success that focuses on long term improvement rather than short term fixes. 

Delivered as a three-hour interactive online workshop, you’ll work through real contact centre scenarios, practical exercises and discussions that bring performance management to life. You’ll leave with greater confidence, practical tools and techniques you can apply immediately to create a culture of accountability, engage your people and create a climate of success where performance thrives.
