  Stop the Torture! (Performance Evaluations) 

  Tuesday, December 6th,12 PM PST

  Never Give or Get Another Employee Performance Evaluation

  Increase Profits, Productivity, Morale, and Loyalty

  
  

  Performance Evaluations cost the organization a lot of money, reduce productivity to a standstill for weeks, and destroy the morale of top performers for a minimum of three months.

  In this presentation, you will learn:

  • Why organizations have stopped doing performance evaluations.
  • What small-to-huge organizations are doing instead to motivate all employees.

  Even if you are NOT performing employee evaluations, learn an amazing motivation technique that you, your supervisors, and your employees will love. It’s simple, easy and costs nothing!

Her firm is a consulting firm with amazing consultants who solve problems and develop HR processes (except for performance evaluations!) for small- to mid-sized organizations in all industries, including non-profit.
