Propel Talent Marketplace
Propel, Our Internal Talent Marketplace, is a one stop shop for our employees for their career development. Our guiding belief is that careers are ‘Employee owned, Manager supported, Organization enabled’. To instil this belief as part of our ethos, Propel enables employees to build their Talent Profile - by adding skills, past education and experiences, awards and certifications, job preferences; View and apply for internal opportunities across the organization with AI-based recommendations.
Propel allows employees to chart their next career moves through Career Pathing and supports acquisition of new skills through internal gigs, short term assignments & International Sprint opportunities outside their work areas. Employees can seek and match with mentors who can guide them on their areas of interest and further their careers. Propel also connects recruiters and managers to internal employees and gives them visibility on their skills, experience, and knowledge.

By utilizing the Career Explorer, employees will gain a clearer understanding of the growth avenues that align with their individual aspirations.
