When you have worked through this resource, it is recommended that you attend this face to face Appraisal Skills Workshop. 

Wednesday 18 July 2012 (1.30pm - 4.30pm)

Topics covered:

• Questioning techniques
• Feedback skills
• Techniques to deal with challenging behaviours 

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Ask effective questions to encourage their appraisees to discuss relevant performance and developmental issues
• Give constructive feedback to the appraisee
• Demonstrate a variety of techniques for dealing with challenging appraisee behaviours

This workshop is recommended for staff who will be conducting appraisal interviews.  If you have little or no experience of giving feedback and/or conducting other types of interviews, then you should attend this workshop.

However we understand that many new appraisers will have a vast experience of giving feedback to colleagues on a one-to-one basis and conducting interviews and discussions of different kinds.  These types of interactions use similar techniques to those associated with appraisal and providing you feed confident in your skills, you may conduct appraisals at the University of Leicester without attending this workshop, providing you have worked through the online resource.

If you are unsure whether or not you should attend or feel you need additional support, then please contact Helen Robinson (email hmc10@le.ac.uk tel: 252-5211).

We provide a resource which contains video clips and resources for people who will be conducting an appraisal - 'How Are You Doing? Skills for Effective Staff Reviews'.
