Introduction
The continuous improvement of job skills is critical. The challenges we face on the job, as well
as in the general business environment, are constantly changing. In addition, fundamental
changes in the technical industry will continue to accelerate. It does not take long for skills and
knowledge to become outdated in this fast-changing world. “Finishing” one’s education is no
longer realistic. The development of our talent at CHEP is a key strategic priority.
This guide will assist managers and employees to understand the performance development
and individual development planning process. Managers will gain skills and be able to utilize the
tools and resources needed to lead effective development planning discussions and activities
with their employees.
Development planning includes a range of integrated processes which guide an individual’s
growth within the organisation. The process facilitates the creation and execution of detailed,
specific and timeline based employee’s development plans. The Individual Development Plan
(IDP) provides greater detail following a Performance Development Process (PDP) review.
Key components/tools in the talent development framework include:
• The Brambles Core Competencies
• The Performance Development Process (PDP)
• The Job Profile Learning Paths
• The Lominger Voices 360° Feedback
• Lominger Talking Talent
The Talent Development Process is guided and implemented by the Human Resources team
(the business), however the major roles players in this process is the employee and the line
manager.

Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 4
The Roleplayers
Communication
Communicate Responsibilities (Line Manager): Job Descriptions, performance standards,
goals and objectives are tools by which a manager can identify development needs.
Job Descriptions: Job descriptions are valuable communications tools for supervisors and staff
members. They help to:
• Define the job and expected results
• Select the best qualified candidates
• Determine the best processes to accomplish tasks and projects
• Establish performance objectives and goals
• Identify knowledge, skills and abilities to select and develop
• Reward employees equitably and appropriately
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 5
Establish Performance Standards
The manager is responsible for defining and communicating performance expectations, which
can be defined as the work responsibilities and tasks that an employee is expected to perform.
The performance standards are best described as the expected result, product, or outcome of
the work responsibilities and tasks that an employee performs. Performance standards may
also be related to behavioural criteria pertinent to the assignment (e.g., working collaboratively,
negotiating style).
There are various times at which it is important to communicate performance standards: When
a new employee starts the job; at the start of the performance year; when job responsibilities
change; and when coaching will help an employee's performance.
Communicating Performance Standards
By communicating performance standards, you will be able to obtain the desired
results/outcomes, improve an employee's performance, and develop new skills. When you
meet to discuss these expectations, standards, and goals, meet in a quiet place without
interruptions and have the job description and objectives at hand. Be sure to discuss the
expectations with the employee and confirm that the employee understands the tasks and
responsibilities of the position.
• Meet in a quiet place without interruptions
• Have the employee's job description as well as business teams plan and/or objectives
on hand. (will guide your discussion)
• Talk with the employee about expectations.
• Confirm that the employee understands the tasks and responsibilities of the position.
• Ask the employee for comments and suggestions on performance standards.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 6
• Finalize performance standards with the employee and confirm the employee's
understanding.
• Define performance standards at each level of performance, e.g., meets expectations,
exceeds expectations.
Brambles Lominger Competencies
Competencies are behaviours, knowledge, skills and abilities needed for success. Lominger
a leading HR support provider developed after years of research a library of 67
competencies. The 67 Competencies can be found in the FYI Book available on Walter and
in our CHEP MEA HR library. Brambles have identified 20 key competencies divided into 5
groups, reflecting our mission and vision.
The 20 Brambles key Competencies by Group.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 7
What are Competencies used for?
Competencies are used for a variety of purposes to ensure our people have the right skills,
abilities and experience to perform effectively in their current role and progress into future roles.
The Competencies are used to define roles, deciding on the right appointments, ensuring that
new employees can integrate quickly, effectively and with shared values and behaviours during
induction into the organisation, in developing current and future talent, in allowing for a
structured review of performance and in developing areas for career and personal development.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 8
How do the Competencies Work?
Every Role Profile contains a list of 8 competencies needed for the success in the role (called
a Success Profile) The Success profile includes at least 1 competency from each of the 5
Brambles groups and 3 other competencies selected from 3 Brambles Key Competencies or
from the full Lominger Library. Not all competencies are equally relevant across bands.
Competencies are used by HR and Managers to develop role profiles, identify selection Criteria
and formulate interview questions and guides.

The Performance development tool includes a drop down box where an assessment against the
competencies is made. The assessment ratings are:
• Skilled
• Accomplished
• Developing /Unskilled
Competencies can be used by employees and managers on an on-going basis for career
development by referring to the FYI Book on Walter to plan their Development. See behaviours

Using the FYI Book for Competency Development
Having gained a clear understanding of your skill level and the competency, you can now find
ways to develop. If you want to go into even greater depth then refer to the actual book to
consider the list of substitute competencies for an unused skill and those that can be used to
compensate for an overused skill
Read through “Some Remedies” and decide which tips can help you look at the “Suggested
Readings” for books and articles that will give you a deeper insight and relevant development
strategies ask for advice from your manager, peers and others find additional tips by checking
other competencies in the same “Factor/Cluster” (groupings of similar competencies) consider
the “Performance Dimensions” and “Special International Focus Areas” to identify further
development strategies read “Career Stallers and Stoppers” to identify specific problems and
ways to overcome them.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 20
Performance Development Process (PDP)
The Performance Development Process (PDP) is a framework that supports all employees to
develop to their full potential. It enables them to achieve their personal and professional goals,
which are aligned with the strategic and operational objectives of the CHEP business. The
performance development process is a dual responsibility between the line manager and the
employee.
The Performance Development Cycle consists of four components:
• Performance Development Planning
• Ongoing Discussions
• Performance Development Review
• Reward and Recognition
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 21
Performance Development Planning
Performance Development Planning is the first component of the cycle. During the planning
stage the line manager and employee discuss the elements of a PDP. During this discussion
the following items should be addressed:
• performance expectations;
• objectives and indicators;
• development needs and timeframes.
All aspects should be aligned with the employee's job description, the objectives of the team
and the CHEP strategic plan.
Ongoing Discussions
Discussions about performance should be regarded as an integral part of the continuing
process of performance development. Frequent discussions will help ensure that employee’s
receive ongoing guidance, support, coaching and encouragement. The following items should
be included in Ongoing Discussions:
• Discussions on progress of the objectives;
• Provision of support and coaching to employee where needed;
• Updating objectives where necessary;
• Adjustments of development activities where necessary;
• Provision of feedback on performance.
Performance Development Review
The Performance Development Review is the basis for assessing overall performance of the
performance review period. The structured performance development review relies on a formal
discussion and performance rating. The discussion should take into account all of the following:
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 22
• the whole range of the performance objectives set for the review period;
• factors which influenced performance;
• performance over the whole review period;
• the relevant position description;
• revision of the role and/or responsibilities;
• if the staff member reported to another supervisor during the period under review,
comments from the previous line manager;
• development activities undertaken;
• career aspirations; and
• the overall performance rating.
Rewards and Recognition
• Ratings are the basis for Short Term Incentives (STI ) and other bonus scheme
calculations
• Ratings contribute to calculating merit increases
Why is PDP important to the Employee
• Provides employee with feedback on their performance
• Helps identify core development needs across the CHEP business
• Personal development is necessary to support on-going performance , the PDP process
identifies key action steps to improve areas of development and strengthen an
individual’s core competencies
• Demonstrates an individual support to the CHEP objectives
• Clarifies self-perception through self assessment and feedback from line managers
• Provides a roadmap for career progression
• Helps identify top talent for succession planning
• Ratings contribute to calculating merit increases
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 23
The Employee’s Responsibilities in the Performance Development Process
• Maintain records on performance and development activities
• Actively seek feedback
• Conduct personal assessment of performance contributions, core strengths and
development needs
• Develop targeted, measurable objectives and development actions that will improve
productivity
• Understand organization’s goals and how employee’s role supports/drives objectives
How does the PDP benefit the Business
• Provides clear direction, concise actions and measurable results
• Ensures strategic alignment between the organization and the employee
• Provides a holistic view of organizational strengths, development opportunities and
employee contributions
• Strategically plans for talent pool growth, succession planning and individual career
growth
• Develops employee commitment to the larger organization
• Strengthens employee-manager relationships
The Line Manager’s responsibilities in the Performance Management Process
• Evaluate the employee’s performance against objectives;
• Assess demonstrated behaviours to determine key strengths and developmental
opportunities;
• Coach and support employees through the process;
• Agree ratings with 2nd
level line manager
• Own the integrity of the process
CHEP MEA Learning & Development

Performance Objectives can be defined utilizing the “SMARTS Model”
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 25
The Overall Performance Review Process
Identifying and Discussing Employee Development Needs
Beginning the Discussion
Successful employee development depends upon conversations held in an atmosphere of trust
and collaboration. To engender such an environment:
– Find a private, comfortable spot for the discussions
– Allow plenty of time - a rushed sense will not help build rapport
– Make sure you listen as you establish a two-way conversation
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 26
– Ensure that any goals set are clear and attainable Outline the next steps and
responsibilities for each step
– Your role as a supervisor is to provide information and support the employee
during this development process.
Employee Experiences and Actions
Participation in various essential for successful employee development is participation in various
experiences. Some of these experiences can be educational (training classes, workshops), but
there are many other experiences that can contribute to employee development:
Job Experiences
• Temporary assignments;
• Cross-training, rotation;
• Conducting meetings, conferences, forums;
• Preparing and making presentations;
• Participation in various committee’s
• Job shadowing; and
• Networking.
Relationships
• Mentoring by a more experienced co-worker;
• Job sharing and back-up;
• Coaching a less experienced co-worker; and
• Career coaching.
This development model will assist in planning an employee’s development to include different
learning activities and opportunities.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 27
CHEP Learning and Development Model
Adults learn new skills from a variety of sources, therefore CHEP utilizes the 70/20/10/ model
for development with:
• 70% of Learning opportunities obtained through on the job experience
• 20% from Coaching , mentoring and structured feedback
• 10% from Classroom interventions

Lominger 360°0 Feedback Report
VOICES® is a 360°O
multi-rater tool used by leadership development practitioners, career
development coaches, and HR talent management professionals to assist employees in
improving their leadership effectiveness.
This feedback report is available to the employee as well as the line manager, and is a vital tool
in the development process as the report provides great insight into development areas.
What is contained within the report?
• Skills Rating Overview – this section ranks competencies from high to low based on
your average scores.
• Blind Spots/ Hidden Strengths- Blind spots are where you have rated a competency at
least one point higher than your average raters. Hidden strengths are where you have
under- rated yourself one point or more lower than your average. When blind spots and
hidden strengths are on critical competencies, you need to look at the impact on your
current role and the next steps.
• Group summary Skill Rating – shows the distribution of scores in your rater groups
against each competency.
• Scoring Distribution- the charts tell you at a glance the rating profile of your rater
groups and how aligned are to the average.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 29
What is the goal of going through a 360°° feedback process?
The simple goal of going through a 360°° feedback process is to confirm your strengths and to
find, accept and act on your most pressing needs.
I have my results, but what if...
• My results are more positive or more negative than I expected?
• My scores are higher or lower than I wanted?
• My ratings agreed with others?
• My scores went up or down (for stallers and stoppers) compared to last time?
• The goal is still to find one to five skills or stallers and stoppers you can work on to
improve your performance, make your career more fulfilling, and your life more
comfortable
Other information about your feedback
Why do I have different ratings from different groups?
Rater groups (peers, direct reports, bosses and customers) might see you differently. This is
normal. They are concerned about different needs and see different skills or competencies as
important.
Is there anything that could affect my results?
Time on Job
• Results tend to be most accurate when raters have known you between 1 to 5 years
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 30
• If you've only been on the job a few months, the feedback you receive will be first
impressions. Research shows that first impressions, although general, are powerful and
unlikely to change until people clearly see you act differently several times.
• Rather than disregarding early feedback because "they don't know me well," accept the
feedback as an indicator of how you come across in new situations and how you may
always come across to those who only see you occasionally.
Type of Job
• Jobs at the extreme can produce extreme reactions to you that may be reflected in the
feedback.
• Very good situations (like rapid growth) and very bad situations (like layoff, turnaround
and shutdowns) will affect the feedback you receive.
• Also, staff or technical jobs require a more narrow range of skills. Scores often run lower
for people on leadership/ management skills in these jobs.
• Take such results as an indicator of how you are perceived in extreme or unusual
situations.
• Now that you have your feedback , you can decide on your development needs together
with your line manager and or an HR practitioner
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 31
What Are Job Profile Learning Maps
The job profile learning path is a tool that may be used to direct a coaching conversation
between a line manager and direct report.
Learning map is a job specific learning path that helps set the context for any learning
opportunity within a job title. Together with the PDP and the Lominger 360° feedback,
Learning Maps help an employee to identify their current knowledge and skills for a job function
and plan future learning.
A series of job specific learning maps can be found on the WALTER site

Talking Talent ®
Introdcution to Talking Talent
The establishment of a succession management program is critical to the long-term success of
an organization. The evaluation, development and deployment of talent is a key strategy to fulfill
business stratgies. Leaders and managers at all levels of the organization have an important
responsibility to identity, develop, and retain talent.
The focus of the succession management process is the identification and development of
strategic leaders. These are the critical people who will grow the business and lead the
organization into the future.
An effective succession planning process is not about forms, scales or supporting
documentation. It’s about getting managers and executives to understand how to “talk talent”
openly and objectively. Talking Talent ® uses a research –based definition of talent,
emphasizes the differentiation of talent for development purposes and provided language and
defintions to assist in distinguishing diffferences in talent.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 33
The Basics of Succession
The Talking Talent process is designed to fit the culture and needs of any organization
and can be customised to the specific requirements of the enterprise.
Talking Talent focuses on four critical components:
1. Evaluation
2. Validation
3. Development Planning
4. Ongoing Review
HR will conduct Talking Talent sessions annually.
CHEP MEA Learning & Development
Employee Development Guideline Version 1 –September 2013 Page 34
