Performance Coaching for Success – Glasgow SME Seminar

We recently held our ‘Performance Coaching for Success’ seminar in Glasgow. This was the first in a series of events Enigma People Solutions will be hosting to support SME’s and businesses in the community. We aim to deliver a number of similar seminars on various topics such as “Recruiting for Success” and “Managing the Recruitment Process” and are rather excited about our new projects 🙂

Last weeks seminar was aimed at SME’s in Scotland who may be growing their teams or looking to do so in the near future. By offering access to free coaching on managing employee performance we hope to help you:

• improve overall company performance
• determine when and how to provide employees with effective feedback, to get the best out of your people and boost productivity
• effectively conduct performance reviews in a way which adds value to you and employees leading to improved staff retention levels
• Opportunity to discuss any ‘people’ related topic, big or small

The seminar itself was kept small and intimate to give attendees the best access to experienced HR leader Sarah Prasad and we are so pleased to have had some great feedback!

“Well presented and comfortably pitched”   “Good session”

If you were unable to make the seminar then Sarah’s presentation can be found here:
