Currently in the Manager Experience, direct reports can only report to one manager. It would be very beneficial if they could report to more than one manager because we have a lot of cases where there's more than one manager to a department who would need access to the employees.
We need this functionality as well. Not all LMS's are for internal use. Ours is a sales training platform, and requires at a minimum 2 departments to oversee results of another.
Reporting structure doesn't always determine who manages the learning. For instance, we have departments in which there is a manager has multiple assistant managers to help supervise a large staff. In the current Manager Experience model, the Assistant Managers wouldn't be able to support the Manager in overseeing learning. And if the Manager is gone for a day, the Assistant Manager isn't able to fill in.
Allowing for multiple people to see/view/manage a group of staff would be very helpful.
I disagree. Most companies will still have one manager/supervisor each person reports to.
100% agree, many companies, like mine, has a management structure that has management and supervisors working in the same team. Supervisors and perhaps other levels of seniority are all interested in the learning engagement of associates - whether that is on the same team or not.
Long story short - don't restrict the view of "direct reports" to just the manager of a team - give us 'Absorb Admins' the full ability to assign view to ANYONE we choose.
I agree. We have operations and training teams involved in enforcing content completion so having multiple people able to spot-check completion for specific teams would be ideal.
