How to get started with my Personal Plan?

In this article, you see which type of goals we have in Dialog. And how to create your personal plan. 

Type of goals

In Dialog, you can record what you want to achieve during the upcoming period, and a distinction is made between the types of goals:

  1. Performance goals - these goals are generally measurable goals aimed at achieving results.
    Via the wizard you can create Performance goals below the tab 'My position' and 'Team goals'. 
  2. Development goals - these goals are goals that are generally focused on personal growth and development.
    Via the wizard you can create Performance goals below the tab 'Competencies' and 'Development'. 
  3. Ambition goals* - These are goals for your next step in your career.
    To be created using the support tool under the heading 'Ambition' under 'Development'.

Note: Your organisation may differ from the above terms.

Creating goals

  1. Opening the Support tool via goal page

    We are happy to help you set your personal goals! We do this by the use of a support tool. This support tool has been set up by your organisation, so it can help you setting your goals. 

    The support tool opens immediately when you log in for the first time. Do you want to get started with your Personal Plan at a later moment? You can always close the support tool by clicking on the cross or by choosing the 'Skip' button. 

    You can always open the support tool again by clicking on the button ‘Assistance with setting goals’. 

  2. Via the button 'Add' on the 'Personal plan' page.
    By clicking on the button 'Add' you can also create goals and add them to your personal plan. 

Tips for creating your personal plan
Before you start creating your personal plan, we have some tips to keep in mind.

  • The steps you see are there to help you set your goals. So you are not obliged to generate a goal at every step. 
  • Don't create more than 3-5 goals, so your plan doesn't get to big. Do you find it challenging to set goals for yourself? Then ask your supervisor to help you with this!
  • Think in advance about the number of performance, development and ambition goals you want to set for yourself. If you set too many goals, you could lose the overview which can lead to a lack of focus.
  • Consult your plan with your supervisor and/or colleagues to see if they have feedback suggestions for you. In that way you can be sure, that you can get the best out of yourself.
