Participants evaluate potential employee issues, develop effective problem statements, role play, and consider the performance appraisal process. Topics include motivation, coaching types and strategies, managing relationships, overcoming uncertainty when doing corrective counseling, and how achievement and recognition together can create a positive environment and productive results.  

Outcomes of this Session include:

• Implement constructive methods to correct employee behavior
• Reach mutually agreed-upon goals through counseling
