Focus - Forum for career development at SLU

Through FOCUS, SLU employees have access to an individual sounding board, whether you want an inventory of your skills and your development needs more systematically or if you need help with individual issues or "dilemmas" related to well-being and development of your work.

FOCUS calls are suitable if you want to:

• Get a clearer picture of your skills, personality and needs
• Find a new approach to work
• Prepare for future employment or professional exchange
• Prepare for appraisal interviews
• Change career direction 

FOCUS talks are individual, confidential, and focus on your work situation and your questions. Through the talks, you will get the opportunity for self-reflection, become aware of your own thoughts and attitudes, and as a result, you will be able to better support yourself and counteract your own limitations. You have the opportunity to participate in a total of six FOCUS talks.

To book a first Focus call, contact:

• Previa (Umeå, Uppsala, Alnarp och other sites): Managers or employees make orders mainly at the customer webbpage. For appointments made by employees, the manager's name needs to be stated in the form in order for the appointment to be registered. Information about the appointment and the invoice is then sent to the HR-unit and not to the manager. The service is thus handled in a special way. 
  
  
• Avonova (Skara, Lysekil and Visby): Managers make orders mainly at the webbportal. Employees make orders by telephone.

Background

The project is funded by central funds and has a steering committee composed of the chairs of SACO, SEKO and ST and the head of Human Resources at SLU.
