managing performance

Half-day workshop for public sector professionals responsible for managing the performance of individuals or teams

Focused on setting clear expectations, having effective performance conversations and maintaining consistent standards day to day.

  • By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

    • Set clear objectives so people understand what is expected and how success is measured

    • Hold performance conversations that are direct, constructive and focused on improvement

    • Give feedback that supports development while maintaining clarity and accountability

    • Address underperformance early and in a way that maintains trust and momentum

    • Apply consistent standards when assessing and recognising performance

    • Use performance management to maintain focus, motivation and steady progress

  • This is a practical, hands-on session focused on day-to-day management.

    Participants work through realistic situations such as setting objectives, giving feedback and addressing performance issues. Each section introduces a simple structure, followed by exercises to apply it immediately.

    We focus on how performance management shows up in everyday conversations, and how small changes in clarity, tone and consistency improve outcomes.
