Strengthen your ability to lead, motivate, and develop your team with this CPD‑accredited staff appraisal skills course. Appraisals are one of the most important tools for improving performance, boosting morale, and aligning employees with organisational goals. However, without the right skills, appraisals can feel like a tick‑box exercise rather than a meaningful conversation. This training equips you with the knowledge and techniques to conduct effective appraisals that inspire growth and deliver results.

You’ll learn how to recognise the benefits of effective reviews, tailor the appraisal process to your organisation, and establish an appraisal style that works for you and your team.

By the end of the programme, you’ll have the confidence to give and receive feedback effectively, manage performance with clarity, and create a culture of continuous improvement within your organisation.
