Employee Conversation Guides for Managers

Three powerful conversations that align employee desires with organizational needs:

Conversation 1: Defining Rewarding Work: Uncover what uniquely motivates each team member
Conversation 2: Performance Enablers: Identify what employees need to excel
Conversation 3: Performance Preview: Plan future performance – set clear expectations and success metrics (not a review of past performance)

Five strategic conversations that build a personalized career roadmap and enable continuing collaboration:

Conversation 4: Defining the employee’s career goals
Conversation 5: Self-assessment of the skills, strengths, attributes for a robust career
Conversation 6: Exploring development opportunities starting with the employee’s current job
Conversation 7: Creating a short list of opportunities to help define and write the career plan
Conversation 8: Activating the career plan and the collaboration needed to keep it progressing
