Performance Conversations:
A Key to Successful Performance Management
in Higher Education
 

 


Step-by-step guidance through the most 
effective performance management practices.
 
Traditional performance appraisal systems can be ineffective in the collegial environment of higher education. Shared governance, egalitarianism, and individual responsibility are a part of the belief system that guides how work is done in colleges and universities. Instead of the traditional power relationship between a supervisor and subordinate, deans, directors, department chairs and vice presidents are peer leaders who work in a collaborative environment of mutual respect. Nonetheless there still exists a supervisor-subordinate relationship, but how best to manage that relationship can differ from what we may be familiar with. How then should colleges and universities harness the potential of every faculty and staff member, while still making sure that institutional policies and procedures are being adhered to? 
 
Finding the answer requires a collaborative approach to employee performance management which involves having "performance conversations" that foster a shared commitment to institutional goals and responsibilities. Conversations, instead of evaluations, represent the underpinnings of a performance management system which seeks meaningful feedback.
 
In this webinar you will:
  • Learn the key design elements that are necessary to create a collegial performance management system in higher education.
  • Understand how to get employees involved in tracking and regulating their own performance.
  • Learn to recognize common pitfalls with traditional appraisals and what to do instead.
  • Discuss how to redefine the supervisor and subordinate relationship to foster "partners in performance."
  • Discuss how to hold quality "performance conversations" which include:
       - Involving colleagues in meaningful dialogue about their performance.
       - Providing feedback and feed-forward without insulting a colleague.
       - Recognizing how the culture of an institution can be built into the current performance management system.
  • Learn how to foster positive relationships built upon cooperation, collaboration, and communication.
  • Find out how to hold positive conversations about the most difficult workplace challenges.
  • See how to apply appropriate techniques for faculty and staff performance conversations.
  • AND MUCH MORE!
Just as a true learning organization enables every student to learn, grow, and contribute to his or her highest potential, a higher education performance management system should empower all faculty and staff members to do the same and still make sure that the goals of traditional performance management are being met. Achieving these objectives will encourage faculty and staff to grow, and at the same time help the institution to reduce its legal exposure from current and former disgruntled employees.
