Overview
Nothing is more debilitating or stressful than for a manager, team leader, or supervisor to manage an employee who is underperforming or causing problems within their team. Whether it is someone constantly turning up late, a team member not getting their work done on time, or a colleague with a bad attitude, knowing how to turn that person’s behaviour and performance around is critical for the employee, the team and of course, you! The good news is that you don’t have to avoid having important performance conversations.
The Managing and Turning Around Underperforming Employees session will show you a proven performance management framework, so you can have meaningful conversations to help turn around employee underperformance.
This practical training will teach you what to say and the right questions to ask so that the underperforming employee has the best chance of turning their performance around and staying on track.
