Description:

It is coming to the end of the year and it is time for annual performance appraisals! Are your annual appraisals an excellent source of valid data and information, on which you can base decisions for promotion, assignment, and discipline? Are they accurate reflections of the performance of all officers in the department? Do they indicate where training may be needed throughout the department? Or, is your entire appraisal process a gigantic waste of time? This webinar will examine the best practices in performance evaluation by looking at some common errors made by supervisors, the purpose and process of performance evaluation, and some practical steps for how to conduct better performance appraisals this year and beyond.  Tis course will be held via Zoom.
