Introduction to Career Conversation

The Career Conversation Module is a new addition to the HR System. This is a “lighter” version of Performance Management that focuses on a conversation between the employee and his manager. The employee’s role profile is discussed and the main focus is on the key performance areas, key performance indicators and competencies. These KPA’s, KPI’s and Competencies are marked as Start, Stop and Continue and all items selected with an output of Start and Stop will form part of the employee’s Action Plan.

Below is a comparison between the Performance Management and Career Conversation Module.
