Gloat Adds Feedback Functionality to Platform
Gloat has expanded its AI-Powered Talent Marketplace platform by adding My Team, a tool which enables managers to convey feedback to employees in real time. The feature allows managers and employees a view into skill gaps at both a macro and personalized level.
“For the modern employee, their performance is more sophisticated than annual scores and ratings,” says Ayala Michelson, vice president of product and analytics at Gloat. “Our platform is building dynamic connection points that align to the unique strengths, interests, and opportunity areas for each employee. My Team creates the structure and support needed to facilitate the varied and rich career paths today’s employees are looking for.”
The My Team tool will allow for:
- Team Insights: Holistic insight into the team’s top skill strengths gaps, supporting workforce planning
- Team Skill Landscape: Real-time insights, leveraging AI, on how each employee’s skills compare to role and industry standards, giving employees continuous guidance on how to meet and exceed their development goals
- Team Members: A view for managers of the employee’s current development goals and hopes, as well as tools to recommend skills to work on, future roles to consider, and curated development tracks
- Skill Strength: Employees can self-rate their skill proficiency level, and compare against their manager’s rating to ease transparent development conversations.
