Engaging and Challenging Your Top Performers
Research shows that a top performer can be 400% more productive than an average performer. Such top-performing employees play a significant role in your organization's success and are critical to its future. Replacing them is not only hard, but also expensive. However, retaining such top performers is not easy; they are usually ambitious and are often sought after by other organizations. If they are not happy or engaged in your organization, they may easily find another job. In this course, you'll learn to identify the typical characteristics of such top performers. You will also learn what motivates them and what you can do to keep them engaged and challenged.

Boosting Performance with the Employee Appraisal Process
Do the words "performance appraisals" stir fear in your mind? Do you think they are, at best, of little consequence and, at worst, a trial to get through? You're probably not alone. However, when approached as a year-round conversation between employee and employer, the performance appraisal process can be a catalyst that leads to higher performance, better relationships, and improvement in key business results. In this course, you'll explore the significance of opening a dialogue through the appraisal process rather than having an annual one-way lane of feedback. You'll learn how the performance appraisal process can be optimized to benefit both employees and employers. You'll also discover how clear feedback affects performance and explore some of the best practices for recognizing and rewarding employees.

Detecting and Dealing with Performance Problems
When valuable top performers choose to terminate their contracts to take up more challenging positions elsewhere, it can be a consequence of poor performance management. Identifying a performance problem early and diagnosing it accurately is key to managing performance effectively. You've got to involve employees in what might be difficult conversations to discover actual root causes and come up with the best possible solutions. In this course, you'll learn how to detect, identify, and question problems in your workplace, determine the scope, frequency, and impact when they occur, and diagnose root causes - both external and internal - to help find the best solution and avoid a contract termination of a valuable employee.
