DEVELOP

Understand, inspire and partner with employees to be their best.

Career conversations that inspire.

Why do the most important conversations happen so infrequently?

While 89% of employees say that regular career conversations boost their chances of seeking internal roles, only 16% say they have ongoing career conversations with their managers.

A major reason is that feedback conversations are extremely stressful. Managers risk sugarcoating their critiques out of politeness, while employees may selectively listen only for flaws. Both sides walk away feeling dissatisfied.

The science of social reward can transform how these career conversations take place, and it’s all captured in DEVELOP.

It turns out it’s all about asking the right questions in career conversations. By changing the focus to asking questions:

Minimize the Threat

The conversation becomes more comfortable for the manager and the employee.

Better Performance

Thinking is lifted and the focus is directed on the future and broader options.

Increase Motivation

Stronger Retention
