Employee Performance Management

Employee Performance Management

In an independent school environment, effective performance management isn’t simply a way to increase productivity. It is a fundamental risk management tool that strengthens your community while also providing growth opportunities for  employees. While performance management may be most visible in an annual review, this essential function should be a part of daily life in your school.

Join subject matter experts to discuss daily performance management techniques as well as  steps your school should be taking to improve employee performance and to reduce the risk of employment practice-related litigation. Learn strategies for holding performance-related conversations and effective ways to document feedback as you help your faculty and staff grow and adapt in a changing workplace.

Learning Objective(s): Participants will learn effective performance management techniques and ways to mitigate risk when an employee is under-performing.
