Learning path: discovering employee aspirations

Career conversations may be difficult for employees, but they can be equally challenging for managers. However, they are a crucial opportunity to discover your employees’ aspirations as well as getting under the skin of any potential issues at an early stage. This learning path offers guidance on how to make every career conversation count

Career conversations are not a box-ticking exercise. They are vital for employees, managers and the organisation. You should make time for them.

Employees are being told over and over again how they need to take responsibility for developing their own careers, and there is information being provided to them from all over to help them understand what they need to drive their careers forward. While no one is in any doubt that individuals must take charge, what is perhaps less clear is the role of the manager in developing their employees’ careers.

The GROW model will provide a useful framework for defining specific goals in your career conversations. This course explains how to use it.
