Initiate a conversation in IDPs
Employees can add comments on their IDPs to initiate conversations with their managers or relevant stakeholders. They can also reply to messages from managers or stakeholders to discuss progress and development plans. This promotes communication and helps employees receive guidance for effective career growth.
Admins and managers can add comments to guide employees, track progress, provide feedback, and involve additional stakeholders to support development plans.
After adding comments, you can manage them and also manage participants in the conversation if required.
Navigate to Apps > Growth > My Growth Hub.
For admins: Open the drop-down, select My Org, and then select an employee.
For managers: Open the drop-down, select a team, and then select an employee.
