Hidden expertise, a more human onboarding experience or a misunderstanding avoided: discover what employee profiles can change in a team’s day-to-day work.
Helping a new employee settle in
Before their first meetings, a new employee reviews the profiles of their team members. They quickly gain a clearer sense of who does what and which topics could help start a conversation.
Finding hidden expertise
A team needs someone to facilitate a workshop, improve a complex spreadsheet or support a short-term project. A search through the profiles reveals experience that was not apparent from the person’s job title.
Adapting your leadership style
A manager learns that an employee prefers to receive feedback privately and have some time to reflect on it. The manager adjusts their approach, then checks directly with the employee to make sure it works for them.
Preventing misunderstandings
Two colleagues have different communication styles. Their profiles give them the words they need to discuss those differences and establish a way of working that respects both of their needs.
Personalizing recognition
Before recognizing someone’s contribution, the manager checks whether the employee appreciates public recognition or would prefer a private message. One small detail can prevent an uncomfortable moment in front of the entire team.
Identifying better practices
Several team members express similar needs. The manager can then discuss a shared practice with them, such as focus time, response-time expectations or a new approach to meetings.
