The Strengths tab in Career Hub is where you identify your top five strengths and record your values, passions, and interests. Answers you enter here are immediately visible to your manager as you type — no separate share step is required.
Before You Begin
- You must have access to Career Hub. Career Hub is available on the Perform and Total Platform pricing packages.
- Complete at least one strengths assessment (such as the free VIA Character Strengths assessment) before adding strengths.
Steps
- Click My Career Hub in the left-hand navigation bar.
- Click the Strengths tab in the Career Hub top navigation bar.
- Review the goal boxes at the top of the page. Click Flip on any box to read more about that goal.
- In the Top strengths section, click the assessment name in the left-hand bar (for example, VIA Character Strengths).
- Enter the name of a strength in the Strengths field.
- Enter a description of that strength in the Description field.
- Repeat steps 5–6 for each strength from that assessment.
- To add strengths from a different assessment or unlisted strengths, click Additional in the left-hand bar.
- Enter the strength name and a brief description, then save.
- Locate the Top Strengths section. All strengths you entered will appear under "Add a star to the top strengths you want to leverage more in your role."
- Click the star next to each strength you want to designate as a top strength. Select five total.
- Scroll to the Values section.
