These processes of managerial review help managers and staff to maintain an effective dialogue about task, performance, and individual development in the workplace. They ensure that in rapidly changing organisational contexts people are able to focus on their task in an effective way, with attention being paid to the support and development they need.
Bridge has expertise in developing these processes and working with organisations to implement them in a reliable and consistent way. We work with line managers to provide them with the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need to undertake effective reviews with people. This involves helping managers develop their confidence to address potentially difficult or conflict-laden issues with people they manage, and also developing managers to use these processes of dialogue to work with staff to develop them.
For organisations that are working with the Investors in People Standard, having effective review processes that consistently result in positive feedback from people is essential for the IiP Standard to be maintained and we have a particular expertise in this area.
Our psychological orientation means that we approach the work on performance & development review with a deep understanding of the issues that can face managers as they use review processes with people. We are able to get ‘under the surface’ and help managers become more emotionally aware and confident in using their own managerial role and authority with people they manage.
