4. Add and manage milestones

After creating the IDP for employees, you can add milestones to it to measure employees' progress toward it. You can manage milestones anytime.

Note: You can edit and delete milestones only if the admin configures the settings.

Soon after creating an IDP, you are directed to a page where you can add milestones manually or use Marissa AI to add them based on your IDP. However, you can add the milestones anytime.

Learn more in Add and manage milestones for employee IDP.

5. Make employees IDP active

You can make the employees’ completed IDPs active, irrespective of who creates the IDPs. This allows employees to add milestones and resume working on them. You can also add milestones. Learn more in Make employees IDP active.

Note: You cannot add milestones to a completed IDP. However, you can add milestones after making the IDP active.

6. Nudge employees

You can nudge employees within the organization to create the IDPs and update them to show progress. Through the IDP, employees can establish milestones for their development, outlining their goals, skills, strengths, and areas for improvement.

You can nudge individual or multiple employees.

Learn more in Nudge employees to create or update IDP.

7. Add employee IDP to the meeting

After creating IDPs for employees, you can add them to the existing meetings to discuss them with the employees. You can also create new meetings to discuss employees' IDPs.

Learn more in Add employee IDP to the meeting.

Note:

You cannot create meetings without integrating with Google or Microsoft Calendar. Contact our support team for calendar integration.

By default, your name is added, as you are the meeting organizer and cannot remove it.

Adding IDPs to a discussion point in a meeting makes all details visible to all participants.

8. Initiate a conversation

You can add comments to the employee IDPs to initiate conversation.

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

After adding comments, you can manage them if required.

You can also manage participants in the conversation.

Learn more in Initiate a conversation in employee IDP.

9. Add a comment as a milestone

After adding a comment on the employees’ IDP, you can add it as a new milestone or to the existing milestone, ensuring that the employee's development is aligned with their goals.

You can add library courses or learning paths to IDP milestones, which support employees' skill development, align their goals with organizational objectives, and facilitate ongoing learning and growth within the organization.

Learn more in Add a comment as a milestone to the employee IDP.

10. Share feedback on employee IDP

You can share feedback on employees’ IDPs to provide them with support, guidance, and encouragement. Learn more in Share feedback on employee IDP.

14. View employees responses to the career aspirations survey

You can view employees’ responses to the career aspirations survey, which provides you with better support, aligns opportunities with employee aspirations, and fosters overall engagement and satisfaction within the organization.

Career aspirations are integrated into employees' talent profiles, allowing you to view their responses to role satisfaction.
