How to engage employees without overwhelming managers by using growth paths
Involving managers in employee development and engagement is crucial. But let’s avoid overwhelming them. Spread the magic of growth paths instead!
Streamline key moments in career development
Managers are busy creatures. So, what exactly do you expect from them when it comes to introducing new employees to the organization's culture, beliefs and formula for success? And how do you keep team members engaged by growing skills that are unique to your organization? Sure, managers skillfully gather, refine, analyze, and channel information to provide a clear direction for the team. Ensuring everyone understands the expectations and the most effective ways to achieve shared goals.
But isn't it time to overcome the obstacles presented by certain key moments in a more streamlined manner? Don't hesitate any longer and let's dive into growth paths! This way, you can set a standard for all employees. Removing the burden of development solely from managers. This allows them to focus on what they excel at while empowering your employees to make significant contributions to the success of your organization.
Feeling safe to make mistakes
Developing growth paths filled with interactive learning bites isn’t just about creating opportunities for your team to learn. You also create an environment where employees can feel safe taking risks and making mistakes. Safe and risk-free, because no one will lose their job or have to deal with, say, an angry customer if they make mistakes during practice.
On the one hand, it allows you to empower employees to learn and practice their skills. On the other hand, the manager continually guides employees through key moments of career growth. This helps people feel like they matter and are valued by your organization. An amazing way to engage your people.
Sharing is caring
Feeling the need to reduce the burden of individual managers even further? Make sure that employees and managers alike prioritize growth. In this case it becomes a shared responsibility. Managers just need to ask the right questions. And no more being a substantive "dean" who oversees all possibilities.
Let’s talk about
The impact of not having a manager, measuring, and sticky business
Manager or no manager
Even in situations where there is no manager for a short while, you don't have an immediate problem either. Thanks to personalized growth paths filled with relevant content, your employees will engage with their journey in a playful and goal-driven way.
And the best part is, once some team members have become experts, these are the people to take their colleagues under their wings. This way the workload is shared and you learn from different perspectives. If you do have a manager in place, this reduces the need for them to constantly monitor and direct every aspect of an employee’s development. Freeing up time for other managerial responsibilities. BAM!
Measuring is knowing
Before you start thinking that measuring your employees' growth is only about numbers and assessments, keep reading! Measuring growth sends managers on a mission to align their employees’ goals with the grand quest of your organization. This way, they get to level up the team’s performance evaluation game! It's like earning experience points and unlocking new abilities to help your employees shine and make them unstoppable. An exhilarating journey to unleash their true potential and create an inspiring workplace.
And with predefined paths in place, managers are relieved from the time-consuming task of creating individualized development plans for each employee. Instead, they can refer to the growth paths as a guide and concentrate their efforts on providing guidance, feedback, and support for their employees' growth journeys. Clear growth paths offer a structured framework, fostering self-directed learning, reducing administrative burdens, and promoting collaboration. They truly make managers' lives easier by providing immediate visibility into progress. Thus, growth paths become the ultimate time-saving tool for managers.
Get ready, set, GO!
Sticky learning experiences
Hold on, there’s one more thing. Another asset to save precious time from your managers and to level up your growth paths is to integrate games. Whether it's onboarding, growing skills, or leadership, games provide meaningful learning experiences that stick. The games are made for important moments of growth and help individuals overcome challenges related to remote work. With just one click of a URL, you can access immersive game experiences right in your web browser.
When do you start combining fun, accessibility and easy of play to ensure that everyone can participate and enjoy their learning adventure without overwhelming their managers?
