How and why to star skills and positions in Progression to aid your career growth
Starring skills help you focus on your goals. By focussing on a specific position or set of skills you want to grow into, you can tailor your conversations around development to suit your needs.
It may be that following a Check-in or a conversation with your manager, you've identified some key areas to develop in - you can star skills to highlight them and keep them front of mind.
Progression gives you at-a-glance insights to help you see how you're tracking on the position and skills you've starred.
