Initiate a conversation in IDP

Employees can add comments about their IDPs to initiate conversations. This helps them receive guidance from their manager and foster communication for effective professional development.

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

Note: By default, you and your manager are participants in a conversation. However, managers (skip-level manager, secondary manager, and growth manager) above you in the hierarchy can add comments.

Navigate to Growth on the left pane.

Add comments

  1. Click the Chat Chat grey Icon on an IDP.
  2. Type the comment and click Send.

You can attach any resources if required.

Manage participants

By default, you and your manager are added to the conversation. You can manage participants in the conversations who are higher up in the hierarchy (skip-level manager, secondary manager, and growth manager) than you. They can share the development plans, progress, and challenges with your direct report and provide support, guidance, and feedback.

  1. After navigation, click the Chat Chat grey Icon.
  2. Click the Settings Settings Icon at the top right.
  3. Search and select the participant’s name, and click Save.
