How to use a Development Framework

The Development Framework is tightly integrated with core parts of Leapsome, including Performance Reviews, Goals & OKRs, and Instant Feedback.

Performance Reviews

When creating a performance review, questions can be tied to specific skills within the Development Framework. The reviewer will then see the description for each skill corresponding to the reviewee’s level when filling in the review, ensuring feedback is objective against the criteria for the reviewee’s seniority. Once the review process is complete, the resulting analytics are mapped to the Development Framework skills.

Instant Feedback

Similarly, skills can be used within Leapsome’s Instant Feedback feature. This means, in addition to providing overall feedback, you can write comments linked to a specific skill and rate the individual’s skill on a sliding scale.

Goals & OKRs

When creating a new goal in Leapsome, you can make it a ‘Development Goal’ by associating it with a corresponding skill. This helps you create an action plan and keep track of your progress towards building deeper proficiency in certain areas. These development goals are also displayed in the 1:1 meetings between employees and their managers.
