Effectively Managing Employee Performance is Breakfast Seminar Topic

Tuesday, May 1, 2007 Event Features
Performance Continuum Feedback Method

WALTHAM, MA — Morse, Barnes-Brown & Pendleton's Employment Law Group will host a breakfast seminar on how to effectively manage employee performance and avoid many common pitfalls. In addition to MBBP attorneys, the seminar will feature guest speaker, Jamie Resker of Employee Performance Solutions, who will share her Performance Continuum Feedback Method, designed to help managers:

• Quickly and accurately assess the overall “employee performance health” of teams
• Articulate and confirm what would make each employee more effective
• Translate this information into the best possible words to use during a performance discussion
• Conclude performance discussions by assessing and confirming the employee’s willingness to take responsibility for the areas for developmen
• Become skilled at talking in terms of what the employee needs to do in place of what he or she is currently doing.

This method avoids raising the negative performance examples that can feel like discipline and confrontation, causing many employees to feel embarrassed or become defensive. Its goal is to make the employee more receptive to the feedback and to working on the area for development.

The program will also address: how employers can minimize the risk of legal claims while using the Performance Continuum Feedback Method; how poorly handled performance management creates legal risk; the best methods for documenting performance issues; and other steps employers can take to reduce legal exposure and liability.

The program will take place Tuesday, May 1, 2007. Registration begins and breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m., the program runs from
8:00 - 10:00 a.m. at Morse, Barnes-Brown & Pendleton's offices at Reservoir Place, 1601 Trapelo Road, Suite 205, Waltham, Massachusetts. To learn more or to register online, click here. Or contact Roslyn Sakowitz ( ) at 781-622-5930
