Why Attend?
The seminar is aimed at understanding how absenteeism, effective appraisal and targeted recruitment can benefit an organisation. All too often companies invest a lot of time a money bringing in the best candidates to add value to the company and place them within an existing team or leading a team, the team has been going through an appraisal process previously and the new candidate joins without an appraisal or the information his peers, subordinates and line manager has about the direction, team characteristics and lessons learnt from previous appraisal work.
Also many large companies have appraisal processes placed on them from group or head office, buy in from the leadership teams at first line level is rarely effective and the process proves to be difficult for the HR teams to manage and control the standards and consistency of the process. The seminar is aimed at helping HR organisations and senior management teams to drive the appraisal process forward in an inclusive manor which gets the most out of the process and also includes the new hires who may have joined in between the appraisal periods.
On boarding can be much more effective if the new hire feels that the company values their contribution, knows the limitations and development areas moving forward, the line supervisor in this case has a better chance of managing the candidate moving forward resulting in a more effective initial performance from the candidate and a happier, structured introduction into the company. The question many companies must ask themselves is how do they effectively manage their talent both new and existing in the short medium and longer term?
