Instead of having an employee create a development plan and then forget about it, the platform captures it in a place that allows them to come back to it frequently and it serves as an anchor for ongoing development conversations.

It’s structured around two steps: know yourself, which is a self reflection exercise designed to help you understand your strengths, motivators and capture your longer term career aspirations and build your plan, a goal-setting exercise that helps the employee turn the output of that self reflection into specific, actionable goals for real growth. The development plan experience is highly intuitive. In a lot of organizations, this process is left to managers to have a review conversation with team members, but Develop is a guided experience that provides a structure to those conversations and really puts the employee at the center of it. Then, with that performance feedback, they create a development plan. Employees can use this after the performance cycle where they get feedback from their peers and manager. The interface is really clean and easy to use. Creating a Personalized Development Plan With Culture Amp Develop This takes organizational learning and development beyond simply learning through courses or through LMS. It’s also grounded in the “three Es” of employee development: Experience, exposure and education. It allows organizations to shift from conventional prescriptive development to a human conversation that explores the employee’s own motivators to understand how their needs and that of the organization align over time, resulting in employee development that really works for both parties.

If an employee has a manager who shows an interest in their career, they’re more likely to be motivated, committed, want to stay at the company for longer, and less likely to look for another job.ĭevelop is powered by people science and it goes way beyond the traditional models of learning that we’re used to seeing in our LMS. Our employees deserve to have a genuinely motivating future at work, and that happens through effective development that’s continuous, personalized and really driven by the employee with the manager supporting that journey. How Develop by Culture Amp Supports Retention and Engagement This is why I was so excited to get a preview of Culture Amp’s new employee development solution called Develop. Those are the numbers, but anecdotally, most of us in HR have experienced the results of attrition and watching so many employees juggle multiple roles while we’re short-staffed and working hard to keep everyone (including ourselves) from getting burned out. Whether employees find growth opportunities within your organization, or outside of it, depends on your ability to persuade your workforce that your company offers a career path that will meet their needs. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report indicates that 50% of all employees will need to reskill by 2025. In that survey, 66 percent of workers ages 18-24 ranked learning new skills as the third-most important perk when evaluating new job opportunities, behind only health insurance and disability benefits.Īside from retention and engagement benefits, consider the challenge of reskilling half your workforce with entirely new competencies to stay competitive. In fact, skills training is one of the top perks younger workers look for in a new job, according to a 2021 Gallup survey conducted on behalf of Amazon. Adding opportunities for personal development, such as learning a new coding language - even if the skills gained aren’t directly transferable to job performance - can communicate to employees that their personal growth is just as important to the company as their productivity. Learning and development programs can be one benefit that supports both, as well as improve employer brand and our ability to attract talent. In our current talent marketplace, employers are focused heavily on employee retention and engagement.
