Leader’s Guide to Performance Management
Our emerging leaders took part in the Leader’s Guide to Performance Management course. The course was filled with practical and easy to understand advice. The mixed method style of training suited our team well and they really valued having access to training materials after the course to be able to refer back to as needed. I highly recommend Julia and KiwiBoss!

Managing Sick Leave and Reducing Absenteeism
I consider myself to be reasonably knowledgeable regarding HR issues, but I always come away from Julia’s courses with new understandings. Also, the slides and back-up notes are excellent. Just about every organisation has sick leave and absenteeism problems. This course will help you resolve them.

Effective Performance Reviews and Giving Feedback
I thought the course contained great content, specifically – it wasn’t a one size fits all approach and there were examples of how options could be applied/were appropriate for different sized businesses and industries.
Additionally, the real-life examples by the facilitator added good context.

It was a great course. Very informative and well organized. The presenter was brilliant. She was engaging and supportive. It was evident that the presenters aim was to give us all a great experience due to her willingness to leave no question unanswered.
