le sujet de la performance est important pour l'employé(e) et l'entreprise pour permettre la réussite et l'évolution, il est alors clé de porter une attention à ce qui peut motiver les employés vers l'accomplissement de leurs missions, que ce soit un travail en solo, duo ou en équipe. Ce sujet est présenté de manière très claire et le présentateur met l'accent sur les aspects qui peuvent faire la différence.

Course was good. Could do away with every section having their own resource to download. And could do away with 2 tests of 223 questions a piece.

By Anonymized User on 11/25/2025

I'm following the explanation and the way the instructor talks about the issues is very interesting and it's easier to understand. Great approach!

By Daini Adebayo Bolaji on 5/11/2025

Very fantastic course as it relates so much to my present job description in managing subordinates and also gives clear insight on how to manage my near future aspirations and expectations as a manager

By Jaysen Williams on 4/28/2025

Although there is good information, majority of it is basic knowledge. It does not warrant students to complete knowledge sections with 223 questions each.

By Anonymized User on 9/23/2024

Manage difficult employees and address performance issues. This is not working for me, so I cannot complete the course. Please help as the rest is done.

By Alessia Racca on 8/27/2024

Communication was clear and concise, and the course touches several important points for People Managers. I've however found the course repetitive at times. While it's important to stress out key points, some concepts excessively repeated with the risk of passing as redundant

By Sunbelt Products on 10/29/2023

So far everything is clear and easy to understand. Some of the examples are repeated throughout the course e.g. the SMART goals, clear and honest communication, etc. I was hoping for a much more original approach to the different topics. Having said that the host is very engaging and very knowledgeable about the topic. Thanks!

By Angelica Martinez on 10/26/2023

Lo temas son de mucho interés y están explicados de una manera sencilla, los tips también nos ayudarán para poder monitorear el deempeño de recursos. Gracias!

By Ashley Holmquist on 5/27/2023

I really loved this course. I have previously taken three other management courses and none of them touched on literally EVERYTHING like this video did. I feel like I am more prepared to lead my team after watching this video series.
