Dutch term or phrase:MM gesprek
Is this a 'Materials Management interview' (MM interview), and if so, what exactly is that?
My context:
'Inhoud zal bestaan uit:
- Rol en formele verantwoordelijkheden
- Budgettering
- HR-cyclus (MM-, beoordelings-, salarisgeprek)'
I am actually still waiting for the answer. Typical, the job is due on Monday, it's now Saturday, and still no answer. I will post it here though, if and when I get it!
Yes, I was planning on asking the client (via the agency) on Monday. Just hoping someone might say, 'Oh, an "MM gesprek", sure, that's an X'. If I get an answer, I'll post it here.
If it is possible to check this with the client, then you should, of course, do so. My answer was given based on the assumption that you do not have access to anyone who could actually tell you what the terminology means and that you therefore need to make an intelligent guess.
Ik ben zelf opgeleid en jarenlang werkzaam geweest als P&O-er, maar ik heb deze uitdrukking nog nooit voorbij horen komen. Zoeken op internet bevestigt dat dit geen gangbare uitdrukking is binnen het P&O-veld. Ik zou het daarom gewoon navragen bij de klant.

Explanation: m.i. gaat het hier over personeel gesprek dus "man tot man "gesprek of "één op één". Waarschijnlijk bedoeld voor iemand die onder disciplinere toezicht staat

Explanation: This is a suggestion based on the position of MM in a series of three, namely MM- beoordelings- en salarisgesprek. This would indicate that MM is the first in the series. So my thoughts go to setting of goals etc. I have no evidence from the web for this particular interpretation other than that this first discussion can be called anything: task-setting, goal-setting, mission-description, target-setting. The record of this discussion will form the benchmark against which performance is measured. Take any two words beginning with M that will fit the bill. I considered whether it could also be something as simple as manager-medewerker gesprek but then why the series of three? All three would be manager-medewerker gesprekken.

Reference information: the only thing that comes to my mind is 'MedewerkerMotivatie'
I am not at all sure this is what is meant
I just mention it
I would mean that the employee's motivation was discussed in this interview
Hrm-activiteiten (zoals werving en selectie, beloning, participatie, coaching, en interne promotie) hebben een positieve uitwerking op de hrm-resultaten (zoals de medewerkermotivatie, werknemerstevredenheid en het sociale klimaat waarin werknemers en het management handelen).
