With performance appraisals as one of the most effective communication tools an organization can use to provide feedback, reinforce positive performance, and discuss areas of improvement, it is important for employers to know how to best conduct these reviews to achieve success.  Dr. Pollack will focus on the ways your organization can use accountability conversations at critical steps in the performance evaluation process to influence employee performance.  

Dr. Pollack will also review the best ways you can:
•   Use performance standards as a tool for shaping successful employee performance and as criteria for evaluating individual and group performance
•   Use a five step conversation when addressing shortfalls in performance
•   Link responsibilities and performance standards with company goals
