Finding the NxtPath in the Workplace

The foundation of every organization is its people.  And, as we’ve outlined in previous discussions, the pressure on organizations to attract, grow, and retain talented team members has never been higher.  At TrailPath, we are convinced that building Meaningful Employment Environments^TM is the solution to this organizational challenge.  But how do we build a MEE?  To get to the answer you have to follow the next path into the heart of the workplace.

‍

That’s why we call our technology platform NxtPath^TM.  We know that a truly successful Meaningful Employment Environment (MEE) requires alignment at all levels: organizational decisions, leader behaviors, and team member participation.  So NxtPath has been designed to provide a scalable “next path” for everyone.  It is fueled by people’s participation, connecting a continuous learning strategy to various action-oriented features designed to help everyone carve out their path to thriving in the workplace.  Just like an experienced guide on a hiking trail, NxtPath builds connections between team members and their leaders.  Likewise, it uses its built-in intelligence to recommend helpful routes forward for both.

‍

NxtPath is built on the MEE guiding principles of dignity and meaningful work, the two shared desires of everyone in the workplace. Using the research-based MEE Framework, NxtPath creates visibility to the important factors that help people thrive in the workplace and offers tools for pursuing growth in those areas.  These tools address MEE at every level of an organization.
