Access my direct report's Career Hub answers

15Five's Career Hub feature is a simple, powerful way for managers and their team members to co-create a strengths-driven career vision that keeps employees motivated and energized. In this article, we'll walk managers through how to view the answers provided in each tab of their teams' Career Hub. Answers in each tab are not visible until the direct report manually shares them with their manager.

Access my direct report’s Career Hub answers

Once your direct report fills out their Career Hub and shares answers with you, you can see their answers using the steps below. After you review the answers, we recommend holding a 1-on-1 meeting with your direct report to discuss findings and make a plan moving forward.

1. Click Career Hub in 15Five's main, lefthand navigation.
   
2. Under "Team", click the name of the employee whose Career Hub you'd like to view.
   
3. You're now in your employee's Career Hub. From here, you can view their answers for each section using the tabs at the top of the page. Continue reading for an overview of what information is contained in each tab.

   View your direct report's Career Hub progress

   As your direct report fills out their Career Hub, they can use the Career Discovery Progress tracker to share which tasks they've completed in each tab. This progress tracker must be updated manually and does not automatically update as employees fill out their Career Hub.

   

5. The Role clarity tab helps your direct report clarify their current role and identify the type of work that’s most energizing to them so they can define what they want in a career. The following actions are available in this tab:

   See how energizing your direct report finds their job

   The "Job responsibilities" and "Projects & tasks" sections of this page enable you to work with your employee to identify ways to maximize energizing work that also aligns with their career goals and business needs.
   In the “Job responsibilities" section, your direct report reflects on the responsibilities laid out in their job description and how energizing they find them. This section is pre-populated with any job responsibilities that account admins have added for the role.

   

   In the “Projects & tasks" section, your direct report will add additional projects and tasks they work on that may not be accounted for in their job responsibilities above and reflect on how energizing they find them.

   

   Options for energizing levels are as follows:
