How can I know more details about my role using Grow?

To know more details about your role, click the Know your role button on the side panel in Grow. This displays an enhanced career role detail page that has all the resources and information to help you understand how well you align with your current role. This page displays your career progression path and the qualifications, skills, and competencies needed for each of the careers on that path. It details the role requirements as defined by HR and by your business and how you’re doing in achieving those requirements. You can also find resources that will help you address the requirement gaps.

Note: The Know Your Role button is available only if a position profile or job profile has been set up for you.

View Your Career Progression Path

The career role detail page displays the career progression path for your role. You can add one or more careers from this path to your careers of interest.

A few points to consider about the career progression path:

  • It’s displayed only if it has been defined in the job or position details of that career.
  • It lists the next three jobs in the progression hierarchy of the career. Note that you can see only a single progression path for a career.
  • Apart from your current role, the other career names shown on the career progression path depends on whether an active job profile or position profile is associated with the career.

View Your Career Role Details

By default, your current role details are displayed across two tabs: Role Requirements and Skills Assigned by Your Leadership.

Role Requirements

On this tab, you’ll see a job description, skills, and functional competencies such as such as languages, educational qualifications, accomplishments, licenses and certifications, and so on, that are required and good-to-have for the role. Skills that you possess are listed first, followed by skills that you’re yet to achieve. If you’re yet to gain any of the functional competencies required for the role, you’ll see an option to add it as a goal to your goal plan.

Work requirements such as travel, working hours, and so on will also be listed if they’re defined for your role. You’ll also see learning suggestions and career ambassadors to help you bridge the skills and qualifications gaps, if any, for your role.

This tab displays details related to your job or position depending on these criteria:
  • If you have both position and job profiles defined for your career role, you'll see the details defined for your position.
  • If you don't have a position profile defined for your career role, you'll see the details defined for your job.

Skills Assigned by Your Leadership

If you’ve been assigned a role guide by your leadership, you’ll see this tab. The purpose of a role guide is to define the requirements of a role for the particular business or organization you’re in. The role guide lists the skills that are required to help you excel in your role, tasks that can help you attain those required skills, and other resources recommended by your organization.

A role guide consists of capability guides, which are a collection of related skills. Each capability guide is listed as a separate section on this page. In each section, you can view the skills that you need to possess to become ready for a role and the skills that you need to possess to achieve mastery in the role. If a skill is required for both mastery and readiness, it's listed in both areas.

In the Tasks to attain required skills section, you can click the task to expand it and view more details, such as the skills you’ve attained and not attained. The number of required skills you’ve attained is also shown. If you’ve already attained the required skills for a task, it'll be marked as exempted; if you've been assigned a task to achieve a skill and you've completed it, you'll see the task as completed.

On this page, you can also interact with any required skills, changing developing skills to developed, and requesting endorsements for the skill. Further, you can drill into a skill to view its details, including what development resources are available for that particular skill.
