Bridge Rollout Resources: Full Suite
Make Bridge a success from day one. We developed this framework to help you drive adoption and enthusiasm within your organization.
Get Your Leadership Team to Promote Bridge
When leaders reference Bridge in employee development conversations, either in 1:1s or as part of the company vision, employees feel supported in their desire to grow. It's less about learning and training as a "must do" and more about training as a "get to."
Provide the business case to your executive leadership team. Give them the context behind Bridge and its impact on retention and performance. Have each department head commit to driving team adoption.
Did you know: Research shows that HR tools succeed at a 68% higher rate when leadership is involved.

Get Your Managers Engaged Early
When you're rolling out Bridge to managers, the goal is to show them that this isn't more work, it's a tool that actually buys their time back by reducing admin tasks associated with managing. They’ll also appreciate that Bridge will reduce the stress of performance season.
Select a pilot group of Bridge champions (managers or influential individual contributors) to get early access. Consider giving them an incentive for their time.
