Complimenting the Refresher training sessions, this half-day workshop is offered to experienced appraisers who wishes to explore other communication techniques used in appraisals, commonly associated with coaching and mentoring.
It is important to stress though, these sessions are not aimed at training appraisers into coaches or mentors.
