She is an internationally recognized expert in management and leadership development, communications, change management, and service quality improvement.
Webinar attendees will be eligible to receive 1.0 general credit through HRCI for learning:
-How to identify and define the key differences between task-based and outcome-based objectives.
-The common traps that managers (and HR) experience in creating and aligning effective performance objectives.
-How traditional metrics can create confusion, lower performance, and cause attrition of high performers.
