Successful companies that want to grow profitably and at the same time operate sustainably and socially must face up to constant change. Employees are also faced with the challenge of reflecting on their employability and professional skills and facing up to current developments and trends. Perspective counselling is useful at such times.
The aim of the perspective discussions for employees is to reflect on their own situation, develop short and long-term perspectives and strengthen their own motivation and satisfaction. Possible insights can be gained during this process:
"I am very well qualified and can develop further with my employer."
"I lack qualifications that I can or must acquire in order to keep my position or develop further."
"I have skills and qualifications that my employer neither knows nor uses."
"There is a need for clarification with superiors or colleagues."
"I no longer feel comfortable with my tasks / in my area / with my supervisor and decide to change jobs."
"I want to develop in a completely different and new direction."
