The Requirements – Delivery of Staff Appraisal Training Media City wanted to improve the levels of competency and confidence of their people with regards to conducting staff appraisals. The challenge was delivering the training to a tight budget, to large groups and in a short session without compromising the quality of the training and learning The Solution After conducting a comprehensive training needs analysis of the attendees, we developed a tailored Appraisal Programme, modified to be delivered over ½ a day to groups of 20+. Using shortened group exercises and a customised DVD to illustrate much of the learning, all objectives were achieved and a greater insight into the field of appraisal attained by attendees .
