Case study
Australian Government department
Before PentaQuest:
Poor engagement with professional development and performance discussions
Learning and development activities were limited to mandatory activities and there was little engagement with professional development. Performance conversations happened in a formal setting every 6 months but staff felt that these conversations were stressful and not meaningful. The performance process was largely manual and the staff experience was highly dependent on the manager.
After PentaQuest:
641% increase in learning and development completed in 6 months
We delivered a massive increase in the amount of learning and development activities being completed, which resulted in staff being more skilled and results in productivity gains. Performance conversations increased in frequency and meaningfulness, with the average staff member having 5 development goals that they are actively working towards.
What users say
“I like how simple yet rewarding it is.”
“The dashboard is very user friendly and it is easy to see what you need to do.”
“It's easily accessible and easy to use - dummy proof!”
“I love the ability to use it to track my own professional development and to set my own goals.”
"It is definitely more engaging to fill in than the old performance plan document. It makes staff think about what they are doing to develop and what they can do to progress activities. I think it is an excellent innovation."

“It was a good way to collaborate across teams”
Support manager capability
using specific activities
For many managers having a remote team is new and it requires new practices and habits.
Now you can support them by giving specific activities to increase their capability and management style. Whether it be attending specialised manager training, having more conversations with staff, or taking time to connect with other managers, you can create manager-specific activities. Managers also have a portal to create activities and team objectives for their staff.
“My manager has become more conscious of
providing feedback because of PentaQuest”
