Description:

Diagnosing performance concerns can be challenging yet it is crucial for managers and HR professionals to do so effectively and efficiently to ensure teams receive the support they need.

This 90-minute interactive workshop breaks down the complexities of performance management into practical steps and introduces the Performance Diagnostic Checklist - Human Services (PDC-HS), a research-backed assessment tool designed to identify factors influencing your team's performance and suggest effective interventions.

This workshop is not just theory. Your instructor, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and ATD Master Performance Consultant, will lead you through the practical side of performance management by using relatable case studies to explore the versatility of the PDC-HS in addressing common performance concerns while reducing bias and evaluation fatigue. By the end of this workshop, you should be confidently prepared to conduct the PDC-HS assessment, interpret results, and implement targeted interventions to positively impact your team's productivity, morale, and overall organizational success.

Participants will receive a copy the PDC-HS assessment as a free resource.
