Employee Asks
Asks
Ambition is your platform to challenge yourself (and others), to get motivated, to be seen, to be heard, and to make an impact.
Employee asks allows you to submit requests to your direct reports, managers, or administrators in Ambition. Submitted Asks are trackable in Ambition, providing status updates and notes.
Type of Asks
Type of Ask | Type Description |
Coaching | Ask an employee what 1:1 coaching they need. Ask your manager for some 1:1 coaching. |
Competition | Ask an employee what new competition they want you to build. Ask your manager for a new competition to be created in Ambition. |
Edit/Fix | Ask an employee if they need anything edited or fixed within Ambition. Ask your manager for a correction to be made in Ambition. Ex. Are you reporting to the wrong manager? Is a metric wrong? |
Goal | Ask an employee if there is a new goal they want you to create. Ask your manager for a new goal to be created in Ambition. |
Help | Ask an employee if they need help with anything. Ask your manager for help with something you're stuck on or that you can't do alone. Especially helpful for the notes that historically have gotten lost in Slack/Teams/Emails! |
Idea | Ask an employee if they have suggestions/idea about how your team uses Ambition. Ask your manager to carry out an idea you have for Ambition. Ex. Submit an idea for a new Metric, Accolade, or TV slide. |
