Insightful development reports


Under Progress Develop, managers and employees receive a personalised report that offers a deep dive into the employees' current capabilities. Get insights into key strengths, pinpoint areas for growth, and identify key steps to improve your employee’s development journey. 

The Progress Develop report is backed by statistically validated data, so managers and employees have a clear and objective starting point for any upskilling discussions. 

Self-paced evaluation and reflection 


Balance objective capability data with real-world impressions. Progress Develop includes a dual-review process where both the employee and their manager complete a structured evaluation. 

This allows each party to reflect on the development report and share their own perspectives, giving you better upskilling success.
