Keeping profiles active after launch

A few simple habits can keep profiles useful, current and regularly consulted long after the initial launch.

The launch builds momentum. 🚀 How can you prevent profiles from being completed once and then forgotten?

A few simple habits can help prevent the profiles from becoming a lovely collection of information that no one ever reads.

During the first month

  • Invite everyone to read the profiles of their immediate team members.

  • Ask managers to use at least one piece of information in a one-on-one meeting.

  • Share a discovery or concrete story from the pilot project.

As part of regular practices

  • Incorporate profile reviews into the onboarding process.

  • Revisit them when teams or responsibilities change.

  • Use them to prepare for certain development conversations.

  • Encourage employees to add to their profiles when they discover new areas of expertise or ways of working.

Once a year

Send a brief invitation to review and update profiles.

This can be done before annual performance reviews, at the beginning of a new planning cycle or at another time already built into the calendar.

Suggested Reminder 📌 Does your profile still sound like you?

Your responsibilities, expertise or preferences may have evolved.

Take a few minutes to review your profile and update anything that could help your colleagues and manager collaborate more effectively with you.
