It’s All About Accountability

While customers demand increased accountability from landscape contractors, contractors in turn typically fall short in holding their employees accountable to meet their respective performance objectives.  Whether it is employees not performing well or not complying with company policies, landscapers must hold them accountable to ensure employee productivity, customer retention, and organizational success.

The performance evaluation is the formal process to hold employees accountable.

Unfortunately, many landscape contractors have never been properly trained to prepare for, conduct, or do follow-ups on an employee performance evaluation.

This Best Practices Workshop provides formal step-by-step supervisory training on how to conduct an employee performance evaluation fairly, legally, and strategically, designed to help the employee, as well as the company, improve performance.
