Description

This course is aimed at legal managers who currently assess their employees’ performance and would like advice on how to do so more effectively. Using a range of practical exercises, speaker Mac Mackay will move beyond the subject of performance assessment to discuss people management ideas and will showcase checklists etc which viewers can utilise in practice.

Developed with the SRA Competency Frameworks for ‘managing my learning in practice’ in mind, this course will cover the following topics:

  1. A goals orientation to performance evaluation
  2. Reflecting on another’s performance
  3. Appropriate metrics on performance
  4. Handling ‘difficult conversations’
  5. The ‘Better’ Sandwich approach

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
