CIPD to launch new series of training DVDs

A new series of training DVDs from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is to be officially launched at the 2008 Annual CIPD Conference in Harrogate.

The CIPD says its 'Training with Vision' series uses actors to illustrate learning points in short slots of up to seven minutes, with the aim of enabling trainers to screen a selection of learning points most relevant to a particular session.

Commenting on the Performance Management DVD, the first to be released in the series, Terry Gillen, author and series consultant said: "We know from research published by the CIPD into high performance working that many organisations see appraisals, performance reviews and career development as key elements of their performance management strategy. Unfortunately, too many managers don’t see appraisals in the same positive light.

"We’ve used our experience based on many years of training 'reluctant' managers, not just to do annual appraisals 'a bit better' but to fully understand how they benefit from the component skills and to use them in everyday management, to produce these DVDs.

Following on from Performance Management, the next two DVDs in the series will focus on Coaching Skills for line managers and Customer Service.

Each DVD is supported by additional resources such as handouts, quizzes and evaluation tools available in an online Trainer’s Guide.

The 2008 Annual CIPD Conference takes place on 16-18 September 2008 in Harrogate.
