Can employees receive guidance on how to strengthen their transfer application?

Employees are allowed to receive guidance on how to strengthen their transfer applications from supervisors or Human Resources (HR). This option is correct because it recognizes the supportive role that both supervisors and HR play in helping employees navigate the transfer process. Supervisors can provide valuable insights based on their knowledge of the employee's performance and potential fit within different teams or roles, while HR can offer advice on the procedural aspects of the transfer application process and any specific qualifications or requirements that need to be met.

In contrast, the other options suggest limitations that do not align with the policy's intent to encourage professional development and career advancement. Solely obtaining guidance from HR would restrict valuable insights that supervisors could provide. The option indicating that guidance is completely disallowed contradicts the principle of employee support and development within the organization. Lastly, receiving guidance only from colleagues would not provide the comprehensive support and structured advice available from supervisors and HR.
