At Truvelop, we know that change isn’t just manager-driven. Employees have the ability to drive their own experience and create an environment that inspires growth and engagement. That’s why Truvelop sends out monthly Truvelop Tips directly to the employees of each of our clients. Here’s an excerpt from September’s Employee Truvelop Tip: Collaborate for Performance Enablement.
Have you ever heard of performance enablement? Performance enablement is the idea that managers support their team members growth through collaboration, continuous coaching, and dynamic goal-setting. This differs from traditional performance management in that it gives you, the employee, the keys to drive your growth and moves you out of the passenger seat. So, what does this look like in action?
Continuous Coaching: If you don’t already have a regular check-in set-up, reach out to your manager and set-up a recurring 10 minute meeting. Emphasize that your growth is important to you and you want to develop your skills. With regular coaching, you can ensure that you stay ahead of the curve and see consistent growth and development.
Collaborate and Learn: Want to learn more about the business and build stronger relationships with your manager/peers? Seek out collaboration opportunities. Not only will you get a hands-on learning opportunity, but you’ll be showing an interest in growth and development.
Create Dynamic Goals: Goal-setting is something that tends to fall to wayside. You set it one week and then forget about in the next. Instead of setting lofty long-term goals, focus on short-term, measurable, skills-focused goals. These quick goals can keep you moving in the right direction, while also leaving room to stay flexible and prioritize current demands as they arise.
YOU are the driver of your development. Help your manager to enable your development by taking initiative and highlighting what you’re interested in. By taking the lead, you can set the pace and see the growth that you’re looking for.
