Conducting extraordinary performance appraisals is an essential skill for every manager. The performance appraisal is the single most effective tool a manager an use for performance improvement. Appraisals serve as an opportunity to provide constructive feedback and coaching as well as a time to give recognition and inspiration. Not only do great appraisals improve employee performance, but they strengthen manager performance as well. After all, managers cannot truly succeed until their employees do. The extraordinary performance appraisal is not born out of a single meeting. Rather, it’s a continuous year round process. Performance appraisals are only meaningful when they have direct, ongoing influence on an employee's behavior and performance. And the appraisal won't have any influence if it's something that you only think about just one day out of the year. This program covers: Preparation Documentation Performance Logs Conducting a job analysis Employee Self-Appraisals Best practices for appraisal forms Best practices for appraisal meetings Keeping appraisals objective and job related Goal setting Follow through

“Pay no attention
to that man behind the curtain!”
Wizard of Oz
There are moments when an issue receives the attention it deserves. In 2017,
that issue was sexual harassment. Thanks to the many high-profile stories that
made headlines, the curtain on harassment has been pushed wide open.
Many of us were shocked by the stories. The choices made by some people in
power were both disgusting and disappointing. But, to think this is just an
issue for Hollywood or Washington would be a mistake. According to the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), in the past seven years, US companies
paid out more than $295 million in public penalties over sexual harassment
claims. That doesn’t account for untold amounts more in cases settled
privately.*
Encouraging a safe, supportive workplace is something we all want. Discussions
on sexual harassment prevention will help move us toward that goal.
At Star Thrower, we believe in the power of conversation. Exploring issues
together not only offers a dynamic learning experience, but improves our sense
of community.
We offer a wide range of harassment prevention training videos. Whether
you prefer vignettes or more definition-driven training programs, any video from
our collection will help you set the stage for productive conversations.
Let’s celebrate the fact that the curtain on harassment has been thrown open.
Improve your work community by investing in harassment prevention today.

How To Stamp Out Bullying at School & In the Classroom Teach Students HOW TO take a Stand Against Hate, Racism and Intolerance Offering insight into different facets of bullying at school, the Anti Bullying collection goes beyond the bystander, the bully or the victim, to get to the underlying causes of bullying in the classroom.

They will discover that much of what they put online is permanent and that cyber bullying is a prosecutable offense. It takes a look at the different roles of the victim, bully and bystander, along with actual ways the bystander can intervene and how the victim can stop being a victim. Deltano challenges the youth and adults in the audience to contemplate how they view each another. The scene "Labels Lie" is about acceptance. It shows students how to make new friends by reaching out and encourages students to stop judging each another by appearance, speech, or economic status.

Heroin is an extremely addictive Opioid drug that's synthesized from Morphine. Heroin can be snorted, smoked, or injected and usually comes in a white or brown powder substance. Its estimated that almost ¼ of all people who use Heroin once become addicted. Teen Heroin Abuse is a growing danger in our youth. The image of a listless young heroin addict collapsed in a filthy, dark alley is obsolete. Today, the young addict could be as young as 12 years old, play video games and enjoy the music of his generation. They can appear smart, stylish and bare none of the common traces of heroin use, such as needle marks on their arms. Because it is available in various forms that are easier to consume and more affordable, heroin today is more tempting than ever. The number of teenagers aged 12 to 17, who used heroin at some point in their lives has increased by 300%. A young person who might think twice about putting a needle in his arm may more readily smoke or sniff the same drug. But this is falsely reassuring and may give one the idea that there is less risk. The truth is that heroin in all its forms is dangerous and addictive. Student Discussion Includes Why is Heroin use so prevalent with today's youth? Why would a teen choose to take Heroin in the in the first place? What does Heroin look like? What are some of the street names for Heroin (junk, skag, smack, thunder)? What does Heroin do to your brain? Does alcohol, synthetic drugs or oxycodin lead to Heroin use? Where do teens find Heroin? What is chipping? What are some of the changes in behavior that may indicate a teens dependence on Heroin? What are some of the short term and long term effects of using Heroin? Is Heroin addiction treatable?
