Value-creating employee development

Employee development is more important than ever, but how do we approach it without it becoming dry and boring? With Dialogog’s picture card, you get the conversation started and unleash your creativity. When you and your employee choose picture cards on specific topics that you have to deal with, your formulations become more nuanced. Metaphors and symbols help to create a strong common visual reference. This is how you achieve a better and more precise mutual understanding.

With Dialoogle’s Performance Review concept, you work systematically through four themes that can be adapted to suit your particular workplace.

Getting started is easy. The picture cards provide an opportunity to bring new perspectives into play and discover new ideas and solutions. The process is relaxed and engaging, and during the conversation, you create your visual documentation sheets that can be taken out on an ongoing basis and make it easy to remember what you have agreed.

Performance Review in just 1 hour

We had some really good conversations where we got into areas that we otherwise would not have visited. I really saved a lot of time because I did not have to write minutes of every single conversation. The documentation was prepared during the interview and appeared on the interview sheet. And at the same time, the pictures make it easier to remember what was agreed upon.

The conversation

The conversation works systematically with four focus areas:
• Tasks
• Cooperation and well-being
• Development of Competences
• Career development

Purpose

The purpose is to hold Performance Reviews quickly, efficiently and in a nice and relaxed atmosphere. To ensure that employees feel safe and are given the opportunity to tell what is important to them. And that you jointly make good, concrete and useful agreements and plans that match both the employees’ and the workplace’s strategies and goals.

Yield

For your employees, the result will be a pleasant conversation, where they experience being heard and gaining ownership of the decisions that are made. With the Action Plan and the Checklist, which you prepare together with each individual employee, it becomes easy to follow up on the decisions. Overall, you can expect greater job satisfaction and motivation from your employees – and this will usually strengthen the bottom line.

Visual Performance Review focus on the benefits of challenges

In the beginning, there were some who found it a little difficult and strange to have to pick pictures and speak from them. But it’s not like that anymore. Now, most people have found that you can actually use any picture card to express what you find important.

Why should we work visually with Performance?

Enhance the performance conversation with pictures
The performance interview is an important part of the employee’s development. The performance conversation is used by both manager and employee to reconcile development needs and wishes. Therefore, it is important that the performance interview is conducted so that it is relevant and allows both parties to speak openly and honestly. By giving the performance conversation a visual perspective, the conversation can become deeper and more nuanced. The pictures are used to illustrate points in the conversation, but also as reminders in the employee’s development, which follows.

New framework – new results
A Performance conversation is something special. Therefore, it must be experienced differently than everyday meetings between manager and employee. When you use picture cards in the performance conversation, you create a completely new framework for the dialogue. An informal and stress-free space for conversation, innovation and development. This will be reflected in the results of the performance interview.

It pays to keep skilled employees
Every time an employee seeks away from the workplace, it costs dearly. Therefore, there is good economics in listening to employees’ motivation to work and giving them the best opportunities for professional development. Employees who thrive and become more skilled can provide both increased earnings and large savings on recruitment and training. They are also good ambassadors for the workplace.

Is individual customization possible?
The concept must, of course, match the special conditions, strategy and goals of the workplace. Therefore, it can be adapted to the individual workplace. Dialoogle can also offer follow-up and sparring after, for example, the first three conversations.

What do pictures do for the conversation?

Whether you are a manager or an employee, it is often easier to put your thoughts into words when you can do so from a picture. This also applies to performance conversations, where pictures can open up the conversation and make it flow easily and effortlessly. Dialoogle is a recognized visual communication tool developed specifically for this purpose. The picture cards stimulate the creative part of the brain, open up free associations and bring out nuances in the dialogue that would not otherwise emerge. In the same way, the picture cards pave the way for new inspiration, new ideas, new insights and new solutions.

Can I use Visual Performance Reviews?

Learning to use Visual Performance Reviews is not difficult. You will find help with the techniques in the instructions that come with our Visual Performance Review packages.

Read how a company works with Visual Performance Review

A team leader in a Danish transport company has used Visual Performance Review in his employee interviews. – And the employees want her to keep doing that.

The transport company had undergone a massive rebuild. This has created great challenges – not least for the employees in the canteen, who have had to work in changing kitchens and deliver meals to several addresses.

“When we were going to have Performance Review interviews, I thought that the canteen staff would especially tell me about how their jobs had been sour and cumbersome during the period,” says the team leader. But that did not happen.

She says that the HR department uses Dialoogle’s concept Visual Performance Reviews because the picture cards not only make employees feel safe by telling them how they feel about their jobs. But also because the cards make them look more nuanced in their working lives.

Excersice: Tune in on expectations for a Perfromance conversation with picture cards

Choose one card each, which symbolizes what you think you should pay attention to during the conversation.
Tell others about your choice of picture card.

Excersice: Introducing Performance Review

A taste of Dialoogle’s concept Visual Performance Review, which makes your employees feel safe and makes you wiser about what gives them job satisfaction.

Find a nice place to hold the performance review – and place a Pocket Set on the table in the room.
At the beginning of the conversation, you ask the employee to think about their work tasks and the value the work creates in the team. Then give the employee two to three minutes to find three picture cards to help answer the following three questions:
“What makes you happy?”
“What challenges diminish your job satisfaction?”
“What new tasks would you like?”
If necessary, let the employee deal with one question at a time.
Then you give the employee the opportunity to tell about his three choices without interruption. Then enter into dialogue.
As a manager, you must now point to one of the three motives and tell where you see the employee’s strength (s).
The employee then decides which of the three picture cards best describes future work tasks that provide job satisfaction in everyday life.
You ask about how and why in a good dialogue with the employee.
