Career Preview

This document covers how the bi-annual Career Preview is handled from the perspective of a manger. For the employee preparation, please see Career Preview - Information for Employees

If annual reviews are the only time when feedback is given, that's a problem. But it's certainly better than nothing. -John Allain

9Y Approach

Still, the performance review / career preview is important. For us, we want to follow this principle:

Connect a person's past – gaining a detailed understanding of who they are and what motivates them at work through their life story – with their future – the wildest dreams they have for themselves at the pinnacle of their career.

360° degree feedback from colleagues is collected by the employee. See https://9y-media.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/9RPBK/pages/2203156500/Career+Preview+-+Information+for+Employees#Appendix-A---360%C2%B0-Questionnaire
