Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment is an outstanding tool to identify the talents of the people who work with you. Once this is identified you can really begin to maximize that talent for the betterment of your workplace. There are many benefits to having StrengthsFinder as part of your organization but for now, we will look at what I believe are the top 5.

1.     Respect, embrace and celebrate the differences of people

2.     Individualizing leadership

3.     Encouraging and supporting excellence by putting people in the right roles

4.     Providing Strengths based coaching and recognition

5.     The gift of Increased Self Awareness 

6.     Understanding why people follow

7.     Tips to identify when someone is working on areas of either strength or weakness

Presented by Shelly Fowlie, President of Skill Dimensions, this 3.5-hour workshop reviews the purpose and value of the Performance Review Process and using a case study example with hands-on activities, allows participants to build a strategy for leveraging the review process to influence future performance. 

 

Participants will:

 

•Discuss current trends and the value of the Performance Review Process

•Develop strategies to address the challenges of perceptions, time, effort and commitment.

•Identify opportunities for improvement – long term and quick hits

 

Topics covered:

 

•The future of the performance review – let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

•The purpose of a performance review – is it to focus on past performance or is it to influence future performance

•Assessing the perception of value and the effort being placed on the process

•Providing managers with direction, support and skill development in how to prepare and have a coaching conversation that adds value to the employee, appreciates good performance and provides direction and support to achieve performance goals. 

•How to make it easier.  Providing managers tools and practice in providing feedback that makes an impact.  (Going beyond identifying what someone needs to work on and adding the how and why to increase their ability to do it.)
