Conducting Challenging Performance Conversations: A Practical Workshop for Managers

This one-day workshop will assist managers in carrying out difficult or challenging conversations with their employees around capability, behaviour or absence.  

 The workshop will be highly practical and interactive, using professional actor-coaches to enable attendees to practise the skills required in carrying out such conversations in government. As per the recently updated Civil Service guidance on performance management, this course will enable managers to conduct more frequent and impactful performance conversations. Scenarios will be explored in the context of operating within the Civil Service. 

The workshop will be very interactive using professional actor-coaches to enable attendees to discuss and practise the skills required in carrying out such conversations in the workplace.
