MUS-Samtale

What is MUS-Samtale?

MUS-Samtale, or Medarbejderudviklingssamtale, translates to Employee Development Conversation. This structured dialogue typically occurs annually between an employee and their manager, focusing on job satisfaction, performance, and development needs. The primary goal is to align individual employee goals with organizational objectives, fostering a culture of continuous feedback and development.

How does it work?

The MUS-samtale is conducted through a structured process that includes preparation, a focused conversation, and follow-up. Employees often receive a form to guide their thoughts, while managers review past performance to set clear objectives for the discussion. The conversation typically covers past performance, challenges, future goals, and personal aspirations.

Common rules or requirements

• Both employees and managers should prepare for the conversation.
• Documentation of discussions and action points is essential for accountability.

Example

Imagine an expat employee, Anna, who feels her skills are underutilized. During her MUS-samtale, she discusses her career aspirations with her manager, who helps her identify training opportunities that align with both her goals and the company’s needs. This conversation not only motivates Anna but also enhances her contribution to the organization.
