Our employee appraisals are an important part of your development at IKOR. Together with your manager you receive feedback on your performance and achievements while also setting expectations for the follow-up period. We focus on goals that fit IKOR’s ambitions and goals. Nevertheless, there is additional room for your personal essentials. You also agree on how close the interaction with the manager should be. In concrete terms, for us this means: Do we talk to each other daily or every 14 days? Here we can respond to your individual topics and wishes so that you also receive the attention of your manager despite remote work and customer assignments.
The annual conversations focus on:
- Reflection on projects and activities carried out
- Discussion of personal and professional development
- Evaluation of accomplishments vs objectives
- Mutual future goal setting
- Training plan design, e.g. seminars, specialist conferences or coaching
- Management agreement and sponsorship
