Explore the key features and updates of Culture Amp’s Employee Development Product released in 2024.


10 Oct 2024 - Automatic Career path role assignment now available

Develop now provides every employee with an individual development plan tailored to their role. With automatic role assignment, employees will see the most relevant competencies to help drive growth and performance. Learn more.


1 Oct 2024 - New Develop admin role available

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Develop admin role on the Culture Amp platform! This new role allows you to assign users specific permissions focused on employee development. Develop Admins can view development plan reports, manage Skills Coach courses, and edit and assign career paths and competencies, all without accessing sensitive data like performance reviews or survey feedback. Learn more.


Sept 9 2024 - Bulk import competencies

You can now bulk import competencies into Culture Amp via CSV! This new feature saves time when setting up Career Paths by allowing you to upload competencies from your existing spreadsheets and easily assign them to roles. Learn more.


6 Aug 2024 - Goals now visible in Development planning report

Administrators can now view development goals linked to plans in the "Employees" report. This update enhances oversight of employee development across the organization. HR leaders can review individual development plans during talent reviews, ensuring they align with employees' motivations and ambitions. Learn more.


6 Aug 2024 - Discontinuation of Playbooks

From August 6, 2024, Playbooks will no longer be available. We’ve updated our training content and resources within Culture Amp Training (CAT) and Skills Coach. These courses cover topics like resiliency, feedback, and leadership. As a result, we’ll be sunsetting Playbooks within the Culture Amp platform, as CAT courses and Skills Coach offer more comprehensive and updated content.


11 July 2024 - Development Planning report upgrades

We've upgraded the development planning report to make it easier to track adoption. Admins now have a simple summary of the status of all employee’s development plans and can filter the various reporting pages based on the status of plans. Learn more.


19 June 2024 - Career paths framework view improvements

We've made it easier to view and configure role expectations with these updates: improved page layout for better viewing on small screens, a new track filter to focus on relevant content, and a new view toggle for admins to switch between admin and employee views of the framework. Learn more.


24 April 2024 - Development manager suggestion

We've implemented a new feature which automatically suggests an employee's line manager as their coach when creating a development plan. This improvement not only streamlines the process but also ensures better manager selection, ultimately enhancing the user experience. Note that employees still retain the option to manually change their development manager if needed.


3 April 2024 - Role-based Development plans

Employees can now link their development plans to any available role in Career Paths. This allows them to browse through the linked competencies—helping them better understand their strengths and growth areas. They can also directly access relevant learning resources tied to the competencies they choose to focus on. Learn more.


19 March 2024 - Update Development manager prompt

We've introduced an in-platform prompt in the form of a banner to assist employees when editing their development plans. Now, if a development plan lacks a designated manager, the system prompts the employee to select one. Learn more.


5 February 2024 - Customizable role labels for Career paths

Customers can now customize role level indicators in Career Paths to match their internal job codes. Aligning level indicators with internal job codes lets employees quickly and easily see where their roles fit into the broader organizational hierarchy. Learn more.


26 January 2024 - Development resources has been decommissioned

Previously, Development Resources was a great way to upload content such as articles and videos for users to access and help them on their development journeys.

In recent months, we’ve significantly improved our employee development products, including Develop and Skills Coach. These drive meaningful individual growth and, by integrating with the Culture Amp platform, make it easy for people leaders to track and drive development at scale. As a result, we have officially decommissioned the Development Resources feature.
