Live Online Employee Performance Management Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Organizations that treat performance reviews as an annual form-filling exercise rarely see better results, and staff quickly lose faith in the process. The week starts with the foundations of an effective system: purpose, the performance cycle, the roles of employees, managers and HR, and links to strategy. Planning sessions cover cascading goals, writing KPIs and behavioural competencies, and involving employees in setting targets so that commitment grows. Monitoring and evaluation topics include ongoing feedback, mid-year reviews, rating scales, calibration sessions and documenting evidence.
The fourth day addresses managing underperformance and developing staff, from root-cause diagnosis and coaching to improvement plans and personal development plans. Final sessions explore advanced strategies such as OKRs, continuous performance conversations, 360-degree feedback and the use of digital tools and data to track progress. Case studies compare systems used in different organizations, and you redesign part of your own. HR practitioners, managers, supervisors and performance coordinators will find it valuable. You leave with a practical framework for planning, reviewing and improving performance that staff see as fair and worthwhile.

About this course
This practical and interactive training program focuses on strengthening participants’ ability to manage employee performance effectively within modern organizational environments. The course explores performance planning, employee monitoring, appraisal systems, coaching, employee engagement, and corrective action strategies. Participants will gain practical knowledge and workplace-ready skills for creating productive teams, improving employee accountability, and fostering continuous organizational growth through effective performance management systems.
