Leading a team of individuals with a mixture of ability and personalities can be challenging.
Empower your leaders and give them the opportunity to learn and develop new skills on this one day workshop. This in-person training course will provide contact centre managers and team leaders with practical skills for effective performance management.
The Leading for High Performance workshop is taking place at Peninsula’s contact centre in the heart of Manchester. Peninsula is an award-winning HR and Employment Law service – they will share their experiences and advice for getting performance management right, and the impact it can have.
Delegates will learn skills and techniques for managing a team in the office, hybrid or remotely, how to create a performance driven culture, the use of KPIs to motivate and how to manage underperformance.
Course Description
This full day course will help you understand what drives a performance culture and your role in this. We will consider the varying components in driving performance and addressing underperformance, and how to diagnose the root cause in order to embark on the right course of action.
You will learn how to give feedback effectively and utilise performance improvement and development plans. We will also review the full planning cycle that should take place within an organisation and examine what performance management actually is.
We will also look at it from a manager’s perspective to understand the role you play in how you treat and communicate with your team members, looking at the importance of coaching, what is involved and focusing on how to make employees feel engaged and valued through training, feedback, on-going development, having long term goals, valuing contribution of ideas and regular reviews.
