Judi Clements Training & Development

It’s often called the “most dreaded management task”.  It’s the performance appraisal.  How do you evaluate your employees’ performance without soft peddling the difficult stuff or being hyper critical and risking a defensive reaction?

The largest room in the world is the room for improvement.

In this program, Judi prepares your managers & supervisors for this difficult, yet very important, job.  Without a successful performance appraisal process, organizations can fall into the trap of “carrying” poor performers & tacitly endorsing substandard work.  Judi shows your leaders how to utilize your organization’s performance appraisal form and use behavioral, not attitudinal language to ensure legal compliance and optimal employee development. Judi turns the “most dreaded management task” into a positive experience for all.
