Career Conversation

The Career Conversation Module 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.

Refer to the Career Conversation Training Manual for more information.

Talent Assessment

The information on this screen is displayed as part of an employee’s Talent Management process. Both employee and manager can see the detail but only the employee would have access to any documentation uploaded here. The information contained here is of a personal and confidential nature. Only trained and accredited personnel may have access to it. Caution should be exercised in using the information. For further information on their Talent Assessment Information employees should contact a Psychologist/ Psychometrist in HR.

In order to better understand your workforce, to know where to focus your training initiatives or if the correct talent distribution of personnel is available for a particular project it is necessary to have some grasp of the talents and potential in your organisation. This section enables you to graphically plot an employee's talent rating using a talent matrix.

Personal development plans may also include a statement of one's career and lifestyle priorities, career positioning, analysis of opportunities and risks, and alternative plans.
