Helping your best people stay: Performance conversations that lead to growth, not just promotions.

​Got a policy puzzle or a tricky people situation you’re scratching your head over? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to go it alone, either.

This month's theme?
Helping your best people stay: Performance conversations that lead to growth, not just promotions.

​Organisations that retain great people aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets or the longest list of benefits. They're the ones where people can see opportunities to learn, develop and build a meaningful career.

Too often, performance conversations focus on what's gone wrong or become a tick-box exercise, and career progression is still seen as a move into management, even when that's not where someone's strengths or ambitions lie.

In this month's session, we'll explore how performance conversations can become a catalyst for growth, helping people build meaningful careers while strengthening your organisation for the future. We'll look at how to create development opportunities and career pathways that don't rely solely on promotions, support both people managers and technical specialists, and take a more strategic approach to succession and workforce planning by developing the skills and capabilities your business will need as it grows.

We'll cover:

• ​How to have performance conversations that inspire growth, not just assess performance.

• ​Moving from annual appraisals to continuous development.

• ​Creating meaningful career pathways for both people managers and technical specialists.

• ​Recognising and developing future leaders without assuming everyone wants to manage people.

• ​Using development conversations to support succession planning, workforce planning and improve retention.

• ​Identifying the skills your business will need in the future and how to develop them from within.

• ​Practical ideas you can take away and implement straight away.

• ​Whether you're looking to improve retention, develop your managers, create clearer career pathways or think more strategically about the future skills your organisation will need, this session will give you practical approaches that help your best people grow with your business, rather than looking for growth somewhere else.
