Employee Performance Appraisals Training Videos
Performance appraisal is often misconstrued as fault finding. Done correctly this is far from the truth. A performance appraisal system should be used to simply identify strengths and weaknesses. The problem comes in identifying those strengths and weaknesses. It would nearly impossible to do this properly without the manager knowing each employee.
By praising strengths the employee is recognized for their ability. By identifying weaknesses and making suggestions to the employee, they learn what they can do to increase their value to the organization . . . and be recognized for their accomplishments at the next appraisal. Without this gauge for appraisal both management and employee are left wondering about performance. Perhaps, the manager believes the employee doesn't know anything and perhaps the employee doesn't even know what is expected of them. These situations and worse can be eliminated with performance appraisals.

Video - Purchase $875.00, Rental 7 Days $275.00 (Item#PDDC-EU5834)
Employees desire performance feedback from their supervisor; not just a "good job" or "you can do better" every now and then; informal or formal, we all want meaningful and cyclical appraisal.
How many things can you do as a manager that will produce measurable improvement in employee performance and employee morale? A periodic one on one, informal employee performance review with each of your direct reports is one of those things.
Training Points:
How to plan for recurring one on ones.
A suggested binder-system for managing performance reports and other one-on-one related documents.
The importance of: SHOWING UP!
What to cover during a one-on-one.
How to informally review performance.
How to handle the "Meets Problem."
How to extract company / process improvements with a simple question.
The importance of 180 degree feedback; How are YOU (the manager) doing?
The importance of documenting key points, and actions plans discussed during the one on one.
Topics: Management Skills, Performance Review, Coaching, and Employee Retention.

Building Employee Morale suggests a solution to the problem of employees feeling as if they've received a poor score when they've been rated as "Meeting Performance Standards."
The video suggests a solution to the problem of employees feeling as if they've received a poor score when they've been rated as "Meeting Performance Standards."
Training Points:
Beware of the undercurrent of disappointment flowing FROM management when a team or person does not exceed job standards.
Employees who are meeting job standards should be praised for doing so.
Don't be unimpressed by employees who are receiving JUST a Meets Job Standards rating on evaluations.
If a Meets Job Standards rating is not an impressive accomplishment, your job standards need to be re-evaluated.
Note: This video is often referred to as The Meets Problem video because that term is used by one of the characters in the video. The Meets Problem is this: Employees who are meeting high job standards are doing exactly what the company has asked them to do, yet, employees feel like the Meets rating is a bad score, and supervisors are unimpressed by a Meets rating. Is this a bad thing? Is it a problem? Watch this video and decide.
Topics: Leadership, Performance Review, Coaching, Employee Retention, Customer Service, and Employee Motivation.

The selection interview is the most important step in the hiring process. In today’s down-sized corporations, managers and supervisors – and even front-line employees – are playing a crucial role in the interviewing process.
Do your managers know that they cannot ask a potential employee about family, religious views, disabilities or birthdates? With so many WRONG questions, perhaps your supervisors aren’t sure what questions are RIGHT – questions about past employment, responsibilities and workplace behaviors.
Protect your organization with Legal and Effective Interviewing II: The Right Questions video program. Knowing your legal boundaries is one of the most important facets of the interviewing process. This video program provides you with a thorough practical approach to training supervisors and managers in this vital aspect of employment and covers such topics as setting the interview tone, the general interview format, listening techniques and more.

Aim
To enable managers to employ criticism as a means of preventing the recurrence of mistakes and improving staff performance.
The video
The video is set in the offices of a district council, where an oversight in preparing for a meeting leads to the rejection of a sensitive planning application. Rather than establishing what had happened and taking action to put it right, the officer makes a series of clumsy attempts to discipline the assistant - including telling him off in front of junior colleagues, failing to agree what had gone wrong and criticizing them personally. Learning how to handle the situation correctly means understanding how the problem arose, and the assistant is able to suggest a means of avoiding such mistakes in the future.
Features and applications:
Helps managers understand that criticism is an essential part of a manager's responsibilities
Shows why people should only be criticized for what they've done, not what they are

Aim
To ensure that managers understand how to use praise to make their staff realize that their efforts are appreciated
The video
This new program makes the point that giving praise where it's due is a management tool that's powerful, cheap and easy to use. It can bring amazing results in terms of increasing the quality and quantity of the output of the people who work for them, providing it is correctly applied.
The employee's attitude changes with renewed enthusiasm when the manager shows interest and appreciation in a job well done. Among the rules learned are that it's important to let people know why they are being praised, make sure that the effect isn't ruined by a kick-in-the-tail remark, and to pass on praise from customers or superiors.
Features and applications:
Addresses the reasons why managers don’t praise
Shows the value of adding praise to the corporate culture
Provides six easily-remembered rules for praising staff correctly
Proves that praising is not a natural gift but a learnable skill

Aim
Demonstrates the techniques for a successful performance appraisal interview for all levels of managers.
Video
It's not surprising that so many managers dread giving performance reviews. They know the importance of employee performance reviews, but this rarely makes having to do them any less painful. In fact, because they often end up being emotionally charged, they are seen more as 'excruciating' than 'crucial'. To overcome this, in Part 1 we identify six very different characters that managers can relate to: Defensive Dennis, Weepy Wendy, Silent Steve, Non-stick Nigel, Bolshy Becky and Bored Betty. Through these characters we are able to demonstrate key review techniques managers can develop. By making them less confrontational and more productive, managers will be able to fearlessly deal with all performance reviews.
The Nightmares:
Silent Steve – At least you can get the interview over with quickly. But, it’s very likely you’re missing something important. So how do you get him talking?
Non-stick Nigel – Nothing is ever non-stick Nigel’s fault. It was bad luck. Or the system. Or other people’s mistakes. Even so, there are ways to dealing with him.
Bored Betty - Bored Betty. But why is she so bored? Could it be because you’ve let the paperwork take over and gone into autopilot? If so, it’s not surprising if she goes on autopilot too.
Defensive Dennis – It’s hard to help Defensive Dennis improve because he won’t admit there’s any room for improvement. But, it can be done.
Weepy Wendy – Tears never help an interview. But with Weepy Wendy you have to be prepared for them – and not let them throw you off course.
Bolshie Becky – Bolshy Becky is looking for a fight – but if you take her on you’ve lost. You can only win by not fighting.
From the appraisee's point of view, the performance review often feels like a waste of time. But this program shows just how well they can go when handled properly by both parties. The appraisee may feel there's nothing they can do or say to affect the outcome. In fact, there are positive steps that can be taken to improve their review, and the secret is 'be prepared'. In Part 2, we reveal a simple three-part formula to help the appraisee with their thinking process: (a) the past - what went right last year and what didn't, (b) the present - any current issues about the job, and (c) the future - where the appraisee wants to go and how to get there. Part 2 also shows managers and appraisees what reviews can achieve when everything goes right.
