How to get the best from your employees and tackle poor performance before it becomes a habit.

Communication of what is expected--and praise for good work--must be a priority for every company.

Effective performance appraisals add value to your organization. They motivate your top employees to do even better. And they tell under-performers exactly what is expected and how to improve.

Unfortunately, performance appraisals are often regarded as mere formalities. Reviews are sometimes skipped, or done late. Clear guidance falls by the wayside, and halfhearted work goes unchallenged.

In this new video, you'll follow two dramatic story lines. One involves a small business, taking steps to formalize a review process for the first time. The other presents a large corporation, attempting to energize an existing system. Watch as two very different managers prepare for challenging review meetings--and see them apply skills that defuse tension and achieve the desired results.

Viewers learn:

• Steps you should be taking in your appraisal process.
• The advantages of sticking to a regular schedule.
• The importance of fairness and consistency.
• The nuts and bolts of formats and record-keeping.
• Methods of motivating the top producers.
• How to deal with under-performers.
• Skills for the face-to-face review meeting.
• The value of employee feedback.

This video shows that effective reviews can increase productivity, resolve problems, and improve work satisfaction-both for employees and their managers.

Guarantee: Viewers will see the appraisal process as an effective management tool, and gain new skills to handle review meetings with confidence.
