Managing & Motivating Poor Performers
If managers are not careful they can end up spending a disproportionate amount of time dealing with poor performances and this often comes at the expense of spending time developing and encouraging good performers. Our programmes therefore normally start with a focus on how to avoid people becoming poor performers in the first place. They then focus on early recognition signs so that managers can intervene before a person becomes a “problem child”.
There are times, however, when managers do have to deal with poor performers, either because they have inherited them or they didn’t see the problems brewing. The primary focus of our workshops is therefore on constructive techniques for turning people’s performances around. We also show managers how to deal with situations when the person is not able to meet the required standards and how to deal with staff who suddenly claim they are stressed when performance issues are raised.
