This past year, we’ve spoken to countless HR leaders who have explained their professional development processes. The typical process? Somewhere between 7 and 10 steps involving multiple approvers and different documents. It’s often so complex that employees are discouraged from even starting the process.
That’s when we knew we had to build something to make professional development management better. A comprehensive solution to transform the way administrators and employees alike handle professional development.
And today, we’re announcing the launch of Professional Development Pro™ to do just that.
Our comprehensive solution transforms how organizations manage, track, and optimize their professional development programs. Our product addresses two critical challenges facing organizations today: the burden of scattered, manual program administration and the difficulty of suggesting personalized and relevant learning opportunities for all employees.
Our customers have been helping us build and refine our new product to get it ready for you. Here’s a closer look at Professional Development Pro™ by Compt.
