Making the most of workplace software

When it comes to innovative digital tools for the office, employers have no shortage of options—but on average, employees use only half the relevant software available to them, resulting in lost efficiency and wasted tech budgets.

Demystifying the dashboard

Our new reporting configuration presents progress and evaluation data in a way that feels helpful, digestible, and actionable. Activity summaries illustrate progress, achievements, and skill maintenance through a re-imagined color, icon, and badge system to focus and motivate users. Customized recommendations provide tips and techniques for gaining new skills and redirect users to the appropriate Office 365 location to practice them.

Bite-sized goals, big gains

Skill drills

Showing performance metrics provides users with valuable information, but only if they know how to act on it. Practice activities linked to each skill offer guidance through narrative, video, and audio formats to support different learning styles.

Oversight with insight

The new Manager Insight Panel gives leaders the ability to efficiently monitor and guide team members' progress. The Assignment Menu lets leaders guide and monitor team member performance by setting new goals aligned with an employee’s roles and projects.
