WHAT

Personalised development at scale

WHY

Why personalise career development?

Enabling businesses to deploy a process that nurtures and retains talent at scale while empowering managers with the necessary skills to drive development is no simple feat. Develop does just that.

Imagine a workforce equipped with structured plans for their development, resulting in improved alignment, engagement, and motivation to succeed.

HOW

We use a coaching approach

There are 3 stages to our Develop module:

STAGE 1

Discovery: Understanding every employee 

Employees are guided to create their development vision, before discussing it in a 1:1 with their manager. Discovery provides the foundation for their personalised development pathway.

STAGE 2

Create: A collaborative approach

Managers and employees assess current skills and identify areas for development against the development vision. This can include competencies, skills or behaviours.

By pinpointing the employee's current skill level, target skill level, and identifying any obstacles, the employee's career development path moves from ideation to creation.

STAGE 3

Pathway: Ensuring measurable progress 

With a defined development pathway, ongoing 1:1s will track and measure progress. Each development area is tracked against the GROW framework ensuring a seemless career development journey.

RESOURCE

The platform for personalised development

Traditional employee development often relies on rigid competency frameworks that overlook individual goals and career aspirations.

Ensure every team member is set on a pathway to thrive with a continuous learning and development journey that's personalised to them.
