Overview
When utilized correctly, the Talent Development Plan portion of the Performance Appraisal Tool can be extremely transformative, motivating, and impactful. The creation of an employee’s Talent Development Plan should be a two-way conversation that considers an employee’s goals and aspirations, and gives supervisors the chance to make an investment in the employee’s future.
