Performance Rating Clinics
This is an essential ANNUAL certification for all Performance Rating analysts and Industrial Engineers to ensure they are maintaining the highest professional standards and are operating to appropriate levels of accuracy. It is an examination process.
For those using Performance Rating, the consequences of not operating at accurate and certified levels could have a significant and negative impact on both individuals and organisations.
The clinics are only for those who have prior formal training and experience.
Please contact us if you do require formal training.
We use the BS 0-100 scale as Standard Performance. Take care not to confuse with other rating scales or performance levels including some MTM-based systems. Click here for more information.
The difference at a Scott-Grant Performance Rating Clinic
The industry norm
Scott-Grant Performance Rating Clinics are the only Rating Clinics endorsed by the Institute of Management Services (IMS). This endorsement is an industry respected professional standard accepted by businesses and unions across all sectors. Your rating card, valid for 12 months, will bear the IMS logo.
Not just about pace
We remind our delegates that there are many factors involved in Performance Rating, not simply pace. Dexterity, effective effort, consistency and evidence of rhythm are all taken into account as well as speed or pace.
Rating Clinics aren’t just a routine test
All our Rating clinics are led by qualified instructors who give the essential corrective guidance, with statistical and visual feedback to each individual after every film. Analysts should thereby be able to progressively improve their rating accuracy during the clinic.
Real activities to rate
We use an extensive library of our own specially produced Rating films, which are all real activities in a wide range of workplaces.
A choice of delivery options
All course delivery options have the same structure and content. Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail.
• Open clinics on scheduled dates, see below, at our training centre in Manchester
• Remotely Managed clinics through a live webinar with an Instructor
• Also in-company clinics on an agreed date if you have a suitable venue and appropriate numbers
