Career Development Discussion

Career development discussion is a formal or informal conversation between an employee and their employer to plan and support the employee's professional growth within the company.

Conclusion

Career development discussions are valuable tools for employees to chart their professional growth and for employers to retain and develop their talent in a transparent and fair manner.
