Initiate a conversation on team members' IDP

Managers can add comments to their team members' IDPs to initiate conversations. This helps provide guidance to the employees, track their progress, and foster communication for their effective professional development.

You can manage your comments and also manage participants in the conversation if required.

Note: By default, you and your team member are participants in a conversation. However, those higher up in the hierarchy (skip-level manager, secondary manager, and growth manager) than your team member can add comments.

Navigate to Growth on the left pane and click My Team.

By default, you can view My Team.
