Zest product updates this month: discover how the new Skills feature will see professional development soar. Also: improvements to Engagement Meter, including an extensive new question bank, and increased Mood submission flexibility.
New feature: Skills
The newest addition to Zest’s development topics this month is the Skills feature. Personal and professional development are important when it comes to engaging employees and retaining talent. Collaborators yearn to learn and progress their areas of expertise, yet they often need encouragement and help to achieve this. With Zest’s new Skills feature, your collaborators will be able to share the skills they want to develop, and follow them through to completion. Collaborators can add and amend their chosen skills through their regular Check-in, and managers have direct access to all skills via each collaborator’s profile.
Learning new skills with Zest is easy:
1.Set skills to develop
Defined during Check-ins, employees choose, or managers suggest, which skills to develop. Build upon previously defined skills or add brand-new ones; Zest makes professional development simple.
2. Develop skills
Skill development happens outside of Zest, but you can easily remind yourself of which skills are in development by viewing a collaborators full list of ongoing skills. During the next Check-in, decide if each skill has been mastered, or if further development is required.
3. Validate and display skills
Both managers and employees can decide when and if a skill can be marked as acquired. Validating a skill means it’s been mastered, approved, and evaluated (level of expertise), and collaborators can then display it on their Zest profile.
Encouraging skill development and giving feedback throughout the process will develop a culture of supportive, engaged and motivated employees, which in turn leads to collaborative, high-performing teams.
Additional Zest updates this month
Keep an eye out for these additional updates:- Engagement Meter: increased frequency settings, more in-depth reporting, handy reminder buttons, and an all new question bank…
