SYDNEY — July 22, 2026 — Halo Feedback launches Halo Grow to align competency assessment with competency development.

While competency assessments provide valuable insights into individual strengths, closing the post-assessment development gap often results in lost momentum after the debrief session. Action plans are created, but progress is rarely monitored, coaching may be inconsistent and managers often lack the time and resources to provide sustained support.

Halo Feedback addresses that challenge with a completely new AI-native assessment and development platform designed to extend the value of competency assessments beyond the feedback report and into continuous coaching with an emphasis on competency growth.

Built with an AI-centric approach, the new platform combines Halo Feedback’s deep industry expertise with the innovation behind several years of AI development. The result is a powerful suite of new features, smarter workflows and enhanced reporting tools — all in one place: the Halo Growth Journey.

The Growth Journey shortlists the competencies most appropriate for development based on assessment results and then builds a tailored plan that:

  • Recommends related development interventions available within the organization.
  • Delivers detailed analysis of each competency through the award-winning Virtual Coach.
  • Creates an ongoing coaching dialogue that the survey participant interacts with over the life of the Growth Journey, evolving with the participant and focusing on how they implement meaningful actions that drive behavior change and strengthen each competency.

Tom Power, CEO of Halo Feedback, said: “We see 360-degree feedback as a vital tool in aligning competencies to organizational goals, but even with the depth of resources available today, many organizations struggle to align their leadership or sales capability frameworks to tangible development, and managers are often time-poor and unable to immerse themselves in coaching their team. Halo Grow addresses this with meaningful actions that, unlike many AI coaches, remain focused on competency development aligned to an individual’s specific feedback.”

Halo Grow will be released globally in August 2026. To learn more about Halo Grow, contact Halo Feedback at info@halo-feedback.com.
