Now that we got all the different groups and roles out of the way, we’re finally ready for you! Starting a new job is obviously super exciting and we’re very happy to have you. Want to take a look into the future? Your career starts here!
Throughout the year, you and your talent lead will focus on the following pillars to help you develop. These pillars will be discussed in detail during your BG:
Basic
The first pillar is about the foundation of a person’s functioning. Think of questions such as: do we understand what is expected of each other? Am I doing my job properly or are there major criticisms? Am I a great colleague and how much effort do I show? Is my self-image correct, and how good am I actually within the basis of my job?
Personal Development
The second pillar focuses on the change that can be seen within the functioning. This is not necessarily about training or reading books, but really about the essential question: to what extent has functioning improved compared to the previous year(s)? In other words, are you doing the same trick? Or have you learned new things and do you have a different approach to your current job? Training and books can of course help with this, but are not immediately something that this is all about.
Impact
The last pillar is the perspective in which the results of your performance are presented as honestly as possible. Think of questions such as: how much impact have you made? How big has your leverage been? To what extent have you made a difference and contributed to the growth goals of our company? Matters such as intentions and commitment are of secondary importance. These aspects are highlighted in the other pillars.
Would you like to join a course outside of TOPdesk? You get a personal training budget of € 600,- each year to spend on training and professional development.
