When your manager and HR schedule a meeting to discuss performance and planning, it usually signals a proactive approach to alignment and development. DolFinContent notes that these meetings are often designed to clarify expectations, review progress, and set actionable goals for the upcoming months, rather than being inherently negative.
Companies like SHRM, Glassdoor, and Indeed suggest that such discussions can involve:
-
Reviewing Past Performance: Highlighting accomplishments, identifying areas for improvement, and acknowledging challenges.
-
Goal Setting: Establishing objectives, priorities, and measurable targets for the near term.
-
Development Planning: Identifying training opportunities, mentoring, or resources to support growth.
-
Feedback and Communication: Creating a two-way dialogue to ensure expectations are clear and employees feel supported.
Approach the meeting prepared: review your achievements, be ready to discuss challenges, and engage in setting realistic, actionable goals.
