This is achieved by helping the staff member reflect on their motivations, aspirations, achievements and strengths, and to build on them to set clear goals that will help them find fulfilment at work and achieve their potential.
A career conversation is a place for a member of staff to meet their line manager, a mentor or other experienced colleague, and discuss the whole context and trajectory of their career including immediate goals and plans. It sits in the place of the Staff Development and Performance Review – taking place at least annually, but preferably more often.
