My Profile

Your profile is the foundation of your experience in Bridge, helping you personalize your development journey based on your goals.

Go to Me > My Profile, then click Edit Profile to add basic information, such as your profile picture and a description.

You can also add the following information, either by accepting the suggestions populated in Bridge, or using the free text search bar to select:

  • The skills you currently have
  • The ones you want to develop
  • Those you’re willing to help someone else develop

Adding the skills you want to develop will provide you with personalized learning and development recommendations in Bridge, and connect you with anyone in your company who’s willing to be a mentor. 

If you choose to help others with a skill, they'll see you're available as a potential mentor.

Feedback

Navigate to Me > Feedback to request skills feedback or start-stop-continue feedback from peers and managers within your organization. 

Skills feedback helps you visualize your current proficiency in the skills you need to perform your role. 

Start-stop-continue feedback, on the other hand, is based on three questions: what should I start doing, what should I stop doing, and what should I continue doing?

Click Request Feedback, then follow the on-screen prompts.

Tip: Read our guide, ‘How Do I Request Feedback as an Employee?’ to learn more.

Development Plan

Your development plan helps you focus on up to three skills you want to develop.

Go to Me > Development Plan to see any existing skills you’re working on, and add a new one.

To get started, use the free text search bar to search for a skill, then add:

  • Your success criteria
  • New or existing goals
  • Tasks
  • Learning items

Tip: Read ‘Career Development Plans in Bridge: A Guide for Employees,’ for a detailed walkthrough.

Head to Me > Skills Community once you’ve completed the skills section in your profile.

The Skills Community connects you to skilled peers in your company, showing you who’s willing to support your development, and recommending you as a mentor based on the skills you’re willing to help others with.
