Required permissions:
The Coaching: Create Program: Can Create Programs for Self permission is required to create a Program where you are the manager.
The Coaching: Create Program: Can Create Programs for Any Manager permission is required to create a Program for any manager.
Ambition offers several options for choosing who will be added to a Recurring Coaching Program. If creating a Program for someone other than yourself, remember to pick that manager's name from the Manager menu before selecting one of the options below.
Select All Employees
All employees who are direct reports, skip-level reports, or members of a Group where the manager is the assigned Group Manager will be added to the Program.
If the selected manager has other managers who report to them, then their subordinate managers' direct reports will be considered direct reports, as well.
For example, assume that Alice is a senior leader, Bethany and Caroline report to Alice, and Bethany and Caroline have their own direct reports. If Select All Employees is chosen, then Bethany, Caroline, and all of their subordinates will be included in Alice's Program.
Direct Reports
If a manager is assigned as an employee's direct manager on the employee's personal profile page, then they will be added as a Program participant.
Select Specific Groups
If this option is chosen, all employees who belong to Groups that the manager oversees will be added as Program participants.
Select Specific Employees
With this option, you'll pick each individual employee who will participate in the Program.
