Conducting a development interview

Targeting development priorities and initiating an action plan

Conducting a development interview is a way of encouraging employees to take stock of their professional objectives, skills and training needs. It’s a valuable opportunity to strengthen employee commitment and align talent with the company’s objectives. 

During this privileged meeting, it is the quality of the HRBP’s or manager’s posture that guarantees the success of the approach. Open questioning stimulates reflection and brings out the development priorities around which an individual action plan will be built. Even if the interview leader frames the discussion, it is the employee who is at the heart of the process, expressing his/her needs and making commitments regarding his/her own development.
