  21. 1. Explain principles to help employees become motivated. • Motivation is the process of giving employees a reason to do something. • Motivated employees promote teamwork, make suggestions, and are interested in their jobs. • Effective managers know about and learn to meet their employees’ expectations. • There are many ways managers can encourage motivation, and most center on recognizing the value of employees and treating them respectfully.

  22. 2. Review procedures for planning and implementing employee development programs. • Managers should work with employees to help them improve their performance and gain the knowledge and skills required for future positions. • The process involves setting development goals, identifying development opportunities, approving and implementing the plan, and monitoring and evaluating its progress.

  23. 3. State procedures helpful in maintaining a positive workplace. • Managers who maintain a positive workplace establish the groundwork for effective motivation. • They focus on employees, maintain open communication channels, and celebrate success. • They also build teams, promote diversity and fairness, and ensure a fair workplace by prohibiting any type of harassment.

  24. 4. Describe basic coaching practices. • Coaching involves informal efforts to improve performance. • Effective managers compare actual to expected performance. • Then they reinforce positive performance publicly and correct negative performance in private. • The coaching process is ongoing as managers monitor the work of staff.

  25. 5. Identify ways to manage conflict. • Typical conflicts occur because of personality clashes or disagreements about work situations. • Procedures to resolve conflicts involve identifying the conflict and all persons involved, along with their feelings about the situation. • Then managers should determine facts, develop a resolution that meets the needs of all parties, and communicate and document the resolution, following up as necessary.

  26. 6. Explain procedures for conducting effective performance appraisals. • Employee appraisals help managers discuss past performance, establish new performance goals, discuss job-related issues, and talk about employee development programs. • The process involves meeting preparation, conducting and closing the meeting, and following up as necessary. • Managers may also discuss performance during informal coaching sessions or in special conversations.
