Flexible leadership communications training leads to effective employee performance management

The SimSeries is a comprehensive set of eLearning courses teaching managers the leadership skills to effectively manage employee performance.
In "Managing Workplace Discussions," managers learn the way to promote meaningful dialog in the workplace. Such discussions help mangers set objectives, provide feedback, solve problems, offer praise and support, and establish trust and relationships.
"Research indicates that conducting purposeful workplace discussions is the area in which managers are least comfortable, yet employees indicate this is the most important factor for increasing their engagement and retention," said Lee Klepinger, chief executive officer. "The SimSeries training helps managers fill this communication gap to create a healthy and high-performance workplace. In this series managers learn communication skills that increase employee engagement to create alignment with the organization’s goals and objectives."
The Performance Advantage SimSeries includes the company’s five proven performance management modules, based on five critical leadership competencies. In addition to Managing Workplace Discussions, the series includes Principles of Effective Leadership™, Performance-Based Management™, Performance-Based Coaching™, and Performance Problem Discussions™.
Organizations can use the SimSeries in a variety of training environments: standalone e-learning courseware for both new and remote managers; a way for managers to review and practice leadership skills that motivate employees; and as a blended learning tool with managers in Impact Achievement Group’s live workshop series, "The Performance Advantage™."
