Workshop
Setting Goals and Managing Performance
This workshop builds the skills managers need to plan and deliver effective performance management conversations, from setting goals to reviewing progress. Participants start by learning a structured, goal-setting approach and the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to write clear, actionable performance goals. From there, the workshop moves into preparing for and structuring the delivery of a performance review conversation. Throughout, participants practice through short, hands-on exercises—drafting goals and planning talking points—rather than just discussing theory.
