Sample training plan: 2-day hands-on design

This two-day design takes managers and HR through a full performance cycle using their own team. On day one they cascade a business goal into key result areas and measurable indicators, set goals with a team member and run a monthly review meeting. On day two they give tough feedback, link ratings to incentives fairly, draft a performance improvement plan and face a disputed appraisal in a capstone simulation. They leave with a working goal sheet, review rhythm and a 90-day plan.
