Lena Schmidt

Employee Conversation

Support insecure employees.

Lena has been part of the team for six months and delivers technically sound work. However, she frequently seeks confirmation, even for routine tasks. Yesterday, she asked you three times to review a standard analysis, despite having completed it ten times before. This morning at 8:47 AM, she wrote to you: "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I understood the meeting minutes correctly. Could you explain it again?" Colleagues are complaining: "We constantly have to validate Lena's work. It's slowing us all down." Two weeks ago, you provided her with positive feedback, to which she responded, "Oh, that was nothing special." You have scheduled a meeting with her for today at 3:00 PM.

FAQs

Why is AI-powered training more effective than traditional development workshops?

Traditional workshops teach theory about competency models and development plans, but genuine development conversations are complex and require situational empathy. With AI role-playing, your leaders can practice: they engage in real conversations with diverse personalities, experience how differently individuals respond to development opportunities, and receive immediate feedback on their ability to recognize potential and conduct discussions. This significantly shortens the learning curve.

What types of development discussions can be trained?

We cover all classic development situations: annual reviews with goal setting and development planning, coaching conversations for skill enhancement, career discussions for those focused on advancement, potential assessments for high performers, motivation talks during performance plateaus, and challenging development conversations involving unrealistic expectations or a lack of self-reflection.

How does the AI respond to poor communication in development discussions?

The AI behaves like real employees: When a leader uses standard phrases, imposes career goals from above, or fails to listen actively, the AI character responds with disinterest, superficial answers, or resistance. However, when the leader demonstrates genuine interest, asks open-ended questions, and collaboratively explores development paths, the character becomes more engaged and generates its own ideas. The feedback clearly indicates what went well and what can be improved.

Can we create company-specific development scenarios?
Yes, with the Scenario Builder, you can create custom development scenarios that reflect your competency models, career paths, and development programs. You can design your own characters based on typical employee profiles within your organization, ensuring that your leaders practice the exact conversations they need to have in their daily roles.
How long does an employee development training session last?

A single development conversation lasts 15-25 minutes and can easily fit between meetings or during lunch breaks. For sustainable success, we recommend a duration of 6-8 weeks with 2-3 scenarios per week. This allows your leaders to train with various personality types, career ambitions, and development situations, ensuring they can confidently engage in development conversations.

How does the training differ from traditional competency models?

We integrate established competency models like Google's Project Oxygen and the CCL Leadership Framework, making them practically applicable. While traditional training explains competency matrices, our approach enables your leaders to engage in genuine development conversations and learn how to identify, discuss, and promote competencies in real situations. The frameworks become evident in feedback, requiring no prior knowledge from leaders.

Does the training also work for industry-specific development paths?
Absolutely. Our character library is industry-agnostic (personality types and career ambitions exist everywhere), but you can customize the context: in IT, your managers can train for technical career paths versus leadership tracks; in healthcare, focus on professional development amid skill shortages; in retail, cultivate sales talent. The scenario builder automatically adapts to your industry and career structures.
How do we measure the effectiveness of the training?
Your HR dashboard displays quantitative metrics such as completion rates, average scores, and improvements over time, along with qualitative insights into which development situations are particularly challenging. The real business impact is reflected in increased employee satisfaction, reduced turnover (especially among high performers), improved internal filling of leadership positions, and measurable skill development. Additionally, we recommend implementing 360° feedback before and after training.
Can inexperienced leaders without an HR background also benefit?

This training is especially ideal for them, as many leaders perceive development discussions as abstract or time-consuming. In a secure AI environment, they learn through practical experience how to identify potential, agree on specific development steps, and truly empower employees—without prior HR training. The AI provides structured feedback and shares best practices for effective conversations.

How can we integrate the training into our existing development programs?

The software seamlessly integrates with your existing HR landscape via SSO/SAML (SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Personio). You can centrally manage which scenarios are enabled for different hierarchy levels and set up automated reminders for annual reviews or development cycles. The analytics flow directly into your performance management systems.

What is the ROI of systematic employee development?

Companies with systematic employee development experience, on average, 15-25% lower turnover, a 40% higher internal fill rate for leadership positions, and significantly higher employee engagement scores. Our ROI calculator clearly demonstrates that with 100 leaders, you can save an average of €738,000 annually through reduced turnover, eliminated external recruiting costs, and increased productivity, resulting in an 800% ROI.
