In Part One (PAT1) the management group will be trained in conducting best practice appraisals in the morning session. In Part Two (PAT2), general staff will learn the best practice in participating, asking questions and maximising the performance appraisal in the afternoon. It’s a win/win course. Both parties win by conducting and participating in performance appraisals that not only fulfil and meet the organisation’s expectations but provide the participants with the skills for making performance appraisals more relevant. Instead of dreading performance appraisals, they will simply be seen as part of the ongoing relationship between managers and their staff and an easy system to carry out regularly. Both parties will be able to connect the performance appraisal to the bigger picture. By completing the appraisals more diligently (instead of randomly filling in boxes) staff and managers will have the opportunity for meaningful and realistic performance discussions.
Here are a few comments we’ve heard recently on the receiving end:
“We caught up on the footy results and talked about the draft pick.”
“I said to my manager that I had a few questions. She replied, there wasn’t enough time for questions.”
“I walked in the door, my manager handed me my appraisal and I left. It took about 20 seconds, which was a bit slower than last year.”
“We randomly ticked off some boxes for performance development and bid each other goodbye.”
“I have had mine done today!”
Here are a few comments on the delivery side:
“Every year, HR gives us these forms to fill in and expects us to know what to do.”
“We spend oodles of time changing the appraisal forms and zero time completing them.”
“What’s the point? We fill in their questions, and the silence till the next year is deafening.”
“It’s a 15-page form. Why can’t we just talk — it would be far more beneficial.”
“Both parties win by conducting and participating in performance appraisals that not only fulfil and meet the organisation’s expectations but provide the participants with the skills for making performance appraisals more relevant.”
This program can be conducted as in-house training at your offices.
Group Size: An ideal group size is 6 – 10 participants.
Venue: For your convenience, you can choose to conduct this program at your offices. Alternatively, we can provide a training venue at a small additional cost.
Duration: Each course can be tailored to your timeframe. We recommend a half-day course for each group.
Cost: Upon request.

Vendors feed your organisational needs. Your supply chain should be seamless and cost-efficient. Some of your vendors are loyal and will always make sure you get a fair deal. Other vendors are like smiling assassins. They are smiling with their teeth, but they have only one customer in mind, “themselves”.
Designed by an organisational psychologist, this course will help participants discover ways to improve the vendor relationship. The vendor management training enhances the skills of professionals in building relationships. Participants will also be encouraged to search for improvements and efficiencies in your supply chain. This supplier relationship management training will help you to engage effectively with new and existing clients.
Case Study
One popular case study is managing the “copier vendor”. Discover the tactics that the copier sales people use to drive up your prices. Your organisation has huge bargaining power up until you sign the contract. Once that contract is signed, then you are bound by the terms and conditions. So in this interactive session, participants practice principled negotiation skills to take advantage of your bargaining power. Have you ever noticed how quickly the copier salesperson disappears after the contract is signed? Your new contact ensures contract adherence with no rapport.
For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended that this course be conducted as an in-house program.
