Hello,

What are some ways I can apply the RoadMap app to my role as HR support in a manufacturing plant?

I have no direct reports, but I'd like to use it to "know my people". My current strategy is to use RoadMap's reminders/tasks functions to replicate the speed of trust-building as I would've were I a manager using it. I'm seeking your input because many of you are similar in role to the people I support. I don't expect I'll use it to talk about performance, to push work down, or to ask for more.

So far, I've added to RoadMap the 5 people I'll work with most closely as  "my team"--the two plant managers, the two leaders of the unit I support, and the overall plant HR manager (my boss). I support about 500 employees at a non-union plant. I begin the role in June. I used MT Trinity as a restaurant manager before joining my current company in 2016 as an entry-level HR manager.

Thank you for any guidance you have,

David

Hi David,

Since you won't be using this for feedback, coaching, or delegation - it really sounds like the Roadmap tool would only serve as a tool to track your weekly one on one contacts with the folks you support.  To that end, it might be useful because it would ping you about logging your contacts and it seems like just using a recurring task or reminder in some other platform that you already use (e.g., Outlook, GSuite, etc.) might be a simpler way to go.

That said, the tool is fabulous - just maybe not what you need in this scenario.

Best,

Steve
