My Space

My Space is a personalized dashboard for employees and managers, providing an overview of career progression, activities, and role-specific ladders. This feature is accessible from the "My Space" tab and offers both employees and managers tailored perspectives.

Employee Perspective

  1. Score Card - provides employees with a detailed view of their career progress. Employees can access this table from the "My Space" tab, and it includes the following:
  • Seniority: Lists the employee's current seniority level (Junior, Mid, Senior).
  • Band: Each seniority level has 3 bands, numbered from 1 to 9.
  • Bucket: Each band contains specific skills or goals (buckets) that must be completed to advance to the next band.
  • Advancement Level: Shows progress within a band by indicating the completion of buckets using green dots (1-3 dots).
  • Band Score: Displays the points earned within the current band.
  • Threshold: Indicates the number of points required to advance to the next band.
  • Soft Skills: Shows whether soft skills have been completed, represented by a green tick.
  • Score Earned: Shows the cumulative points the employee has earned, combining the current and previous buckets. The progress is visually indicated by:
    • Green: Threshold met, soft skills completed, and band achieved.
    • Yellow: Threshold met, soft skills completed, but promotion not confirmed by the manager.
    • Red: Threshold not met, soft skills incomplete, no band advancement.
  1. Multiple Ladder View - For employees working on multiple roles, the "My Space" view offers a Multiple Ladder layout, displaying a tree structure of the ladders assigned to them:
  • Main Ladder: Displays the employee's primary role.
  • Other Ladders: Displays additional roles and the employee's progress in them.
  • Archived Ladders: Contains roles the employee has completed or is no longer active in. Upon clicking on a ladder, the employee is taken to a detailed view of the selected role, similar to the single ladder experience.
  1. Activity - The Activity tab shows a detailed log of the employee's activities related to skill progression and projects. It is organized in a table format with the following columns:

  • Title: Name of the project, skill, or band.

  • Activity Type: One of four activities: Skill Proof, Project Proof, Project Scope, Goal Scope.

  • Submitted On: Date of submission (DD Month YYYY).

  • Status: The current status of the activity (Pending, Reviewed). The table allows sorting by submission date (default: newest to oldest) and filtering by activity type (one at a time). Activities are split into two tabs:

  • Pending: Activities that are awaiting review.

  • Reviewed: Activities that have been completed.

  1. Ladder - The Ladder tab offers a hierarchical view of the employee’s current role progression. The ladder is displayed vertically and includes:
  • User Card: Contains personal details (avatar, name, role), current level (band and score), and next level (band and threshold). Band Progress: Visual representation of the employee’s progress through the current band. Completed, active, and upcoming bands have different icons.
  • Skill Buckets: Each band consists of hard and soft skills that must be completed, with three advancement levels indicated by green dots.
  • Skill Details: Clicking on a skill provides detailed information, including a title, description, and current progress level.
  • Progress Tracking: Completed skills are marked with a "Completed" label, and the current progress level is tracked with icons:
    • Green: Completed
    • Yellow: In progress
    • Red: Failed
    • White: Pending Employees can navigate between past, current, and future bands to see required skills, thresholds, and their progression.

Manager Perspective

The Manager Perspective in "My Space" offers a broader view, allowing managers to monitor their team’s progress and review their activities.

  1. Score Card The manager has access to the Score Card of each employee, allowing them to view the same detailed table of career progression. However, the manager's perspective also includes the ability to:
  • Confirm an employee's readiness for advancement (e.g., yellow status on the employee scorecard indicates that the manager’s confirmation is pending).
  • Monitor which employees have completed their thresholds and soft skills and are ready for promotion.
  1. Multiple Ladder View Managers can view and manage multiple ladders for each employee, similar to the employee’s view. They can oversee progress across different roles and identify areas where employees may need support to advance.

The Multiple Ladder feature allows managers to toggle between different ladders, providing an overview of the employee’s performance across roles. 3. Activity The Activity tab provides managers with a comprehensive view of employee activities, allowing them to:

  • Review submissions for project or skill proof and approve or reject them.
  • Sort and filter activities by type (Skill Proof, Project Proof, etc.), similar to the employee view.
  • Access pending activities for evaluation in the Pending tab, and review completed ones in the Reviewed tab.
  1. Ladder The Ladder view for managers displays the progression of each employee under their supervision, offering detailed information about the employee’s skills, bands, and advancement status. Managers can:
  • Monitor which skills have been completed, are in progress, or are pending.
  • Access detailed views of employee skills to assess their readiness for advancement.
  • Provide feedback on skill completion and approve movements between bands.

Summary

The My Space feature offers employees a comprehensive view of their career progress, while managers can oversee and support their team's development. Employees can track their progression through bands and ladders, complete skills, and monitor their activity. Managers, in turn, have oversight of the team's development, skill progression, and readiness for advancement.

Ladder

The Ladder feature is the main view in the My Space section, offering a detailed and structured representation of an individual's career progression. It allows users to track their progress through various bands, review required skills, and monitor advancement towards the next level.

  • Skill Title: The name of the skill.
  • Short Description: A brief overview of the skill’s requirements.
