Workshops for line managers

Conducting PDRs is a fundamental part of the manager's role. Properly conducted reviews provide a formal opportunity to acknowledge achievement and help to promote a better-motivated and loyal workforce.

The different sessions available will equip managers with the questioning and feedback skills necessary to conduct a positive and collaborative review that is mutually beneficial.

By the end of the sessions you will be able to:

  • prepare for your review meetings and identify and develop meaningful objectives
  • utilise the methods available for rating and enabling conversations about behaviours to take place
  • draw out the development and training needs for your staff and determine the types of interventions that can support them
  • undertake a difficult conversation
  • give feedback that is objective and constructive

What sessions are available?

  • Setting Objectives
  • Rating Behaviours
  • Identifying Training & Development Needs
  • PDR System Demonstration
  • Handling Challenging (or Difficult) Conversations

There are a range of other management-related courses and these include Unconscious Bias in Recruitment and Selection, Absence Management, Change Management, and many more.

Dates of upcoming workshops

Our courses run frequently throughout the year and dates can be found in both the staff development training calendar and on I-Trent self-service. Alternatively, please contact staff.development@beds.ac.uk for more information.
