Career Development One-to-Ones

Growth opportunities are a crucial part of employee engagement. Encourage employees to plan their career progression with the help of mentoring conversations.

The Career Development One-to-One app includes:

• Talking points: open-ended questions for the employee to assess their current working life, identify skills they want to learn, ask for coaching and set a timeline for their progression
• Comments from the mentor/supervisor on each talking point to provide their expertise and recommendations
• An area for both parties to define meeting outcomes and agreed action plans

This template has been created to help employees document their current career path and think about where they want to go next. It's designed as a conversation to take place between the employee and a mentor or supervisor they look up to, who can provide strategic direction on their career plan. Ideally a face to face meeting should take place to discuss what's been written, and then both parties can document the outcomes and actions they agreed on.

• Boost employee engagement through opportunities for growth and development
• Retain talent by giving them the resources and training they need to progress within the organization
• Create cross-functional relationships by assigning career mentors who are not the employee's line manager
