Does your performance management process deliver?

Wednesday 11 June 2008
MaST International, Maidenhead

Most companies have performance management processes, but do they deliver to expectations?

All the elements should be in place and interdependent but often they are not and the results are disappointing.

During this forum we will examine why performance management processes disappoint and the key elements that need to be in place to ensure success.

Your opportunity

During this Forum we will explore:–

* Problems with performance management
* How your staff view the process
* Trends in performance management
* The elements of a good performance management process
* Auditing your own process
* Action planning

Join us for a facilitated session at our Head Office where, weather permitting, you will be able to enjoy the gardens during your networking time.

Registration for the Forum is from 9.30am. We will start at 10.00am and close at 12.30pm.

To confirm your place and/or bring along a colleague, please email us at ldforum@mast.co.uk.
