Course Description

As managers, how do we address performance issues when our employees are in another building, or even a completely different city? This course can guide you through the most important points for making an effective performance review for your remote teams. We discuss options you have if you need a detailed appraisal, and how to collect multiple sources of input from reliable individuals. You can build your confidence as a team leader with KnowledgeCity’s Creating a Virtual Review.

In this course, we’ll discuss virtual evaluation methods and grading systems. We’ll introduce metrics for performance evaluations of remote workers so you can use a measurement system that can showcase how employee duties contribute to department goals. A potential pitfall in employee evaluation is confirmation bias, which we discuss ways to avoid. We look at aspects of employee performance evaluation, like the halo effect and the horn effect. As you understand how to give a fair and solid review, you’ll be able to produce strong records and notes for successful virtual meetings with each of your employees.
