Recruitment is a process. Follow the steps, and you’re far more likely to hire an excellent candidate. A dud can be a disaster, so improve your processes and stop hiring them. For goodness’s sake, even if you don’t attend this course, can you make it mandatory that references are checked and verified. It’s an eye watering recurring error, the interviewer gets confidence that the candidate is “perfect” and then doesn’t really want to check the references in case they tell a different story – crazy.
For maximum effectiveness, this program is best conducted as an in-house program.
Ideal group size: 4–9 participants.
Venue: For your convenience, you can choose to conduct this program at your business premises. Alternatively, we can provide a training venue at a small additional cost.
Duration: This program can be adapted to meet your requirements.
Cost: Price on request.
Target Audience: Existing employees who negotiate deals of more than $50,000 & who have previous negotiating experience and are aware of negotiating fundamentals.

With the dot com boom, organisations were too busy to performance manage IT and technical people. The performance management task was left to the IT manager, who was often technically minded and had very little spare time for this crucial task. Rewards and bonuses were tied to task achievements with little linkage to behavioural guidelines.
So how do you pull in the reins of IT and technical people and get them to deliver important tasks without having to jump over mountains? Surely they should behave like other internal departments and deliver a seamless service. If you consider the key departments in most organisations, the IT Department is still a relative newcomer. There is no doubt the rapid influx of IT people brought a wave of breakthrough advancements to organisations, but in many cases this breakneck speed led to short-cuts in performance management.
Designed by an organisational psychologist, this is a breakthrough practical course to break open and level any IT and/or Technical silos in your organisation. This unique course helps unite participants behind the organisation’s objectives. The target audience is ideally a mix of IT and non IT people and helps flesh out the day to day difficulties that arise. You’ll notice an immediate workplace improvement as your IT and technical people meet the organisations expectations and objectives. Your non IT people get a better understanding too of how they “inadvertently” cause bottlenecks and tension.

Team building exercises, activities, simulations and ideas can help with building a highly effective team. Your team building training course can be tailored to your needs.

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.
