When John Lennon asked Paul McCartney to join his skiffle band, who knew that they would change the future of music?

When Serena joined Venus Williams for a game of tennis, no-one could have predicted that they would dominate the sport for years to come.

While these exchanges took place between monumental historical figures, their stories of success all started with a conversation.

Sodexo’s new performance development framework for Ingenium users, Aspire, looks to harness the power of conversation. Aspire will enable you and your manager to move beyond an end-of-year appraisal into regular conversation cycles. You’ll take responsibility for your own development, giving and receiving meaningful feedback from your peers. Look out for your welcome message from Ingenium and review your first steps.

For colleagues not on Ingenium, Performance and Development Reviews (PDRs) will continue to help you do the best job you can, and identify opportunities to learn and develop at work. Ensuring that every Sodexo employee has a meaningful PDR is one of our key Focus on Five people priorities.
