Use this opportunity to develop your teams and realise the potential of each individual - it will pay off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparatory questions for successful conversations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What do you want to achieve with the interview?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On what common information basis do you and your employee start the conversation?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What expectations will your employee have of the interview?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can the conversation become a dialogue at eye level?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What could be a realistic outcome of the conversation?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the hectic pace of everyday life, there is often little time to pause and discuss strategic issues. This is precisely where development meetings come in: They create space for reflection, goal setting and growth. <br><br>A study by the Gallup Institute shows that employees who feel valued and supported by their superiors are up to 20 % more productive and less likely to leave the company. It is therefore worth investing time in these conversations - not only to motivate employees, but also to ensure the company's long-term competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"entwicklungsgesprache-als-strategisches-fuhrungsinstrument\" class=\"gb-text\">development interviews as a strategic management tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If development dialogues are used correctly, they are much more than an exchange about past achievements. They offer the opportunity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Show career prospects<\/strong>Employees who have a clear perspective for their development are more motivated and committed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Conduct strategic personnel planning<\/strong>If you know how and where you want to and can develop your employees, it will be easier for you to compensate for age-related loss of expertise at an early stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To compare self-image and external image<\/strong>At least once a year, managers and employees should discuss their respective expectations of the employee's development in order to avoid misunderstandings and promote development that is in the interests of both parties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promote strengths<\/strong>Individual skills development not only increases competence, but also satisfaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Giving feedback<\/strong>Appreciative and constructive feedback is essential in order to initiate learning and improvement processes and thus counteract the shortage of skilled labour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-67ee4cb3\">\n<h2 id=\"entwicklungsgesprache-checkliste-vorbereitung\" class=\"gb-text gb-text-a2718d87\"><strong>I<\/strong>Development interviews - Preparation checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Of course, preparing and conducting development meetings takes time and energy. However, the following key questions can reduce the amount of preparation required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"ubergeordnete-fragen\" class=\"gb-text gb-text-db7ec9c1\">Overarching questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What do you want to achieve with the interview?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On what common information basis do you and your employee start the conversation?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What expectations will your employee have of the interview?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can the conversation become a dialogue at eye level?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What could be a realistic outcome of the conversation?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"fragen-zum-mitarbeiter\" class=\"gb-text gb-text-cf064b77\">Questions about the employee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is the employee's greatest personal strength?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What professional expertise stands out?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where do you see the employee in 3 years? \/ Where do you not see him?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What would be the next possible step towards this goal?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can you support this step?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What would the employee have to invest?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"was-tun-mit-mitarbeitern-die-sich-nicht-entwickeln-wollen\" class=\"gb-text\">What to do with employees who don't want to develop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Not all employees harbour the desire to pursue a career. Some are completely satisfied with their role and the tasks associated with it. Nevertheless, you should also conduct this development dialogue in an appreciative manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">And: at a time when markets, technologies and working methods are constantly changing, there are always aspects that need to be developed further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Which professional competences need to be strengthened or newly developed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In which areas can the employee help less experienced colleagues to build up competences?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What development potential in terms of behaviour and communication within the team is currently untapped?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"fazit-entwicklungsgesprache-sind-eine-investition-die-sich-auszahlt\" class=\"gb-text\">Conclusion: development meetings are an investment that pays off.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Development meetings may be perceived as an additional burden in the short term, but they are a long-term investment in the performance and satisfaction of your employees.
