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.<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\nRead on to discover what product features Zest has developed for you this month:\r\n

New feature: Skills<\/h3>\r\nThe newest addition to Zest\u2019s development topics this month is the\u00a0Skills<\/em> feature.\r\n\r\nPersonal and professional development\u00a0are important\u00a0when 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.\r\n\r\nWith Zest\u2019s new Skills<\/em> feature, your collaborators will be able to share the skills they want to\u00a0develop, and follow them through to completion. Collaborators can add and amend their chosen skills through their regular Check-in<\/em>,\u00a0and managers have direct access to all skills\u00a0via each collaborator\u2019s profile.\r\n
\r\n\r\nLearning new skills with Zest is easy:\r\n\r\n1.Set skills to develop<\/u><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nDefined during Check-ins<\/em>, employees\u00a0choose, or managers suggest, which skills to develop.\u00a0Build upon previously defined skills or add brand-new ones; Zest makes professional development simple.\r\n\r\n2. Develop skills<\/u><\/strong>\r\n\r\nSkill 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.\u00a0During the next Check-in<\/em>, decide if each skill has been mastered, or if further development is required.\r\n\r\n3. Validate and display skills<\/u><\/strong>\r\n\r\nBoth managers and employees can decide when and if a skill can be marked as\u00a0acquired.\u00a0Validating a skill means it\u2019s been mastered, approved, and evaluated (level of expertise), and collaborators can then display it on their Zest profile.\r\n\r\nEncouraging skill development and\u00a0giving\u00a0feedback throughout the process will\u00a0develop a culture of\u00a0supportive, engaged and\u00a0motivated employees, which in turn leads to\u00a0collaborative,\u00a0high-performing teams.\r\n
