Initiate a conversation in employee IDP
Admins can add comments to the IDPs to initiate conversation. This helps to 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 a conversation if required.
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.
Navigate to Growth > My Org.

They can share the development plans, progress, and challenges with the employees and provide them with support, guidance, and feedback.
