How to Conduct a Performance Appraisal Interview

How to Conduct a Performance Appraisal Interview

We believe in performance reviews that inspire growth. Our How to Conduct a Performance Appraisal Interview workshop is designed to empower managers and supervisors with the skills to conduct meaningful and effective performance appraisal interviews. We don’t believe in reviews that just check boxes—real appraisals spark improvement and development.

Why Performance Appraisals Matter

Because continuous feedback matters. This workshop begins with a deep dive into the purpose of both formal and informal performance appraisal interviews. You will learn how these interviews serve as crucial tools for evaluating employee performance, offering feedback, and guiding future improvement. We don’t believe in leaving performance unmeasured—clear appraisals help individuals and teams thrive.

Steps to Effective Appraisals

We believe in structured feedback. The workshop provides a step-by-step guide to preparing and conducting effective interviews. You’ll learn how to review performance data, plan constructive discussions, and create action plans with employees. We don’t believe in winging it—structured interviews yield real results.

Overcoming Interview Barriers

Because communication is key. Interactive exercises and case studies will help you identify common barriers to effective appraisals, such as poor communication or defensive employees. You’ll practice strategies to overcome these obstacles and ensure the conversation remains productive. We don’t believe in awkward, one-sided interviews—every appraisal should be a two-way conversation.

Promoting Employee Accountability

We believe in employees taking charge of their growth. A major focus of this workshop is encouraging employees to assume responsibility for their own improvement. You’ll learn techniques to guide them toward setting goals and taking ownership of their performance. We don’t believe in top-down orders—employee engagement is key to development.

Handling Defensive Responses

We believe in calm, constructive conversations. You’ll also gain valuable skills in managing difficult scenarios, such as handling defensive employees during reviews. Learn how to steer the conversation toward solutions, even when faced with resistance. We don’t believe in conflict—it’s all about growth and progress.
