What are growth plans?

Your people create a growth plan and share & discuss it with their manager to accelerate their personal and professional growth.

💡 Growth plans work best when combined with a Career framework. By combining you make sure that growth plans are aligned with people’s role expectations.

Terminology

Growth plan

The set of focus areas (somewhat similar to goals) with corresponding action items that people define for themselves in order to improve

Focus area

An area to focus on/improve, e.g. “Improve my communication skills”. Very often related to competencies.

Note: If you use role cards, people get suggestions based on their role’s competencies automatically 🤖 | | Action item | Concrete tasks that are measurable and timely, with deadlines (e.g., “Read book X about communication”)

Recommendation:

SMART Goals is a good framework for goal-setting 🤓
70-20-10 is a great way to go beyond passive learning! 🤓🤓 |

How to enable growth plans for employees?

Decide on only 3 settings then you are ready to go!

Step 1: Choose the start date

Select a date (either today or in the future) when you want growth plans to be enabled for your employees.

Step 2: Notifications

Choose the way you want to inform your company about the growth cycle. Notifications remind employees to stay on track: automatic deadline reminders will be sent 1 week and 1 day before the deadline.

Step 3: Choose your audience

Creating continuous growth is beneficial for everyone in your company. You can enable growth plans for every employee and leave no one behind! But, you can also specify the departments or groups that will be able to create growth plans!

Track growth plan performance

You, as an admin, can always see all employees' growth plan and their progress.

Go to your Growth tab, and to Analytics view to see the details of your employees' progress.
Use filters to discover how each team is doing: If one team significantly falls behind the other teams, approach the manager and discover how can you support their team's growth!
Familiarize yourself with each of your employees' growth plans by clicking on their names.
