Create and share a career aspirations survey

Understanding and addressing employees' career aspirations is crucial. When employees are unsatisfied with their current roles, they explore alternative positions within the organization or aim to develop specific skills for career advancement.

Admins can create a career aspirations survey tailored to each employee's unique ambitions, learning requirements, and aspirations. This approach fosters employee engagement, satisfaction, and strategic workforce development. This helps them analyze their career goals and create a relevant IDP.

Note: If the Growth module is enabled for your organization, you can create a career aspirations survey. Learn more in Enable or disable a module in Engagedly.
