Grow: Helping L&D Leaders Solve Today's Managerial Challenges

Learning & Development leaders face an ongoing challenge: how to efficiently develop and empower managers at scale. Recent Perceptyx data reinforces both the unmet need and the opportunity for manager development. 55% of managers participating in our research stated they would take advantage of additional coaching opportunities if offered. That number rises to 60% when considering a digital coach, powered by AI, that could offer support in their flow of work rather than require dedicated time. 

We know great managers make a huge difference. Our data shows that when employees think their manager is excellent, they're way more engaged at work. Not only that, they're 5.3 times more likely to see career opportunities ahead and 4.1 times more likely to feel valued by their company. It's clear: good managers are essential to keeping employees productive, engaged, and on board.

Despite the critical role people leaders play in the overall health and performance of the organization, many L&D teams struggle to provide effective, scalable support for more managers within their organizations due to limited resources and outdated tools.

Grow: Scaling L&D Impact on Manager Development

To address this challenge, we created Grow, a new development solution designed to address the root cause of managerial challenges. Leveraging leading behavioral science and AI personalization, Grow extends L&D’s reach and amplifies their ability to nurture high-performing managers across the organization. 

AI-assisted development planning enables L&D to scale personalized manager development plans
across the entire organization.

But how exactly does Grow work, and what problems does it solve for L&D professionals? Let's break it down:

• 360 Feedback Integration: Grow automates multi-source feedback collection, which saves L&D teams valuable time. It provides comprehensive performance insights to managers, giving them a clear picture of their strengths, blind spots, and areas for improvement.
  
  
• AI-Assisted Development Planning: This feature enables L&D to scale personalized development plans across the organization efficiently. Enabling timely action on feedback and learnings, Grow ensures that development efforts support desired leadership competencies aligned with individual and organizational goals.
  
  
• Intelligent Nudges: Grow extends L&D's reach by delivering ongoing, personalized guidance based on behavioral science, all in the natural flow of work. This fosters continuous learning beyond formal training sessions, without requiring additional bandwidth from L&D teams.
  
  
• Impact Metrics: Grow empowers L&D leaders to quantify initiative effectiveness by tracking behavioral change, skill development, and program engagement. These analytics provide evidence of leadership growth, allowing L&D professionals to justify investments and refine programs based on actionable data.

By investing in Grow, L&D professionals can mitigate the negative impacts of struggling managers such as decreased team productivity, increased turnover, lower employee engagement, and reduced overall well-being.
