Employee development plans that track their own progress

Keep every individual development plan (IDP), performance improvement plan (PIP) and career plan on the employee’s profile, with dates, action items and a progress figure that moves the moment someone ticks an item off. Once the action items are in, you can see how far each plan has come without asking for an update.

Employee development plans that track their own progress

Progress

Progress that updates itself

A plan is built around action items you tick off. Every time something changes, PeopleForce recounts the plan and updates the progress figure, so nobody has to type in a percentage.

  • See how far along each plan is

    Tick an item and the plan header updates: items done out of the total, with the percentage beside it.

  • All the plan’s action items in one list

  • A nudge while there is still time

Plan types

Fits the plans you already run

IDPs, personal development plans, performance improvement plans and career plans are ready on day one, each with starter templates for managers to build on. Types work as folders, so a report can tell a PIP from an IDP later. When your process needs something else, you add a type of your own.

  • PIPs next to growth plans. A performance improvement plan is one more plan type, with the same dates, action items, progress and report.

  • Templates in six languages: English, Polish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and Ukrainian. New accounts get the set in the company’s language when it’s one of these.

  • Types you name yourself. Use them for anything with a person, dates and steps to tick, such as onboarding checklists, certification logs or feedback journals.

Fits the plans you already run

The same plan for the employee, the manager and HR

Each of them finds it in the part of PeopleForce they already use.

Views for you, your team and the company

On the employee’s profile

Plans about a person sit on their profile under Performance, split into Open and Completed, where a manager can open them before a 1:1.

On the employee’s profile

Every plan in one report

Filter by date range, plan type, status, people or reporting line, then export to Excel or CSV, with completed and total action items in every row.

Every plan in one report

Comments stay with the plan

Anyone who can edit a plan can comment on it, so the discussion lives next to the plan.
