Performance Management Training
Getting Employee Cooperation: Win-Win Feedback Skills to Improve Workplace Performance
Course Outcomes
This employee feedback course will:
- Give participants a model for gaining cooperation and buy-in from employees.
- Prepare those attending to deliver feedback to others with confidence.
- Provide a road map for handling employees who do not perform after receiving feedback.
Course Overview
Supervisors and managers in every organization need to give employees feedback during formal performance reviews and informally throughout the year.
Their conversations might include such issues as using cell phones for personal calls during work hours, not following procedures, or spreading negative gossip.
Unfortunately, many charged with this task find it difficult and hesitate because they don’t know how to handle defensiveness, blame, excuses, or complaints if they must give employees negative feedback.
Using the skills emphasized and practiced during this course, participants will learn how to deliver feedback effectively, recognize and deal with resistance, provide measures to improve employee performance, and develop more productive manager-employee work relationships.
This program is based on the skills explained in How to Give Employees Performance Feedback & Resolve the Resistance You Know You’re Going to Get, written by program facilitator Ross Blake.
Program Objectives
At this program’s conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Gain cooperation by giving feedback the way employees want it to be given.

- Resolve concerns employees have about what they’re being asked to do.
