Getting users into Develop is simple. You can add employees one at a time or upload a list for bulk import. Here’s how to get started.
Option 1: Add Users Manually
Navigate to the Employee Management section in the Admin dashboard.
Click Add Employee.
Enter first name, last name, email address, job title and department (preferred name, location, employee ID and manager fields are option).
Click Save
NOTE: employee ID field is required on the bulk import and is used to match records. It is HIGHLY recommended that you include an Employee ID. This field must be unique for each employee.
Option 2: Bulk Import via xlsx
Download the sample xlsx template from the Admin dashboard (add employee > import list).
Fill in required fields:
First Name
Last Name
Email
Employee ID
NOTE: employee ID field is used to match records. This field must be unique for each employee.
Job Title
Department
Location (optional)
Preferred First Name (optional)
Manager Email (if applicable)
The manager email needs to belong to a Develop employee (either as part of the same file or already existing in the system)
Upload the file and confirm import.
You’ll see a summary of any upload errors and can correct them easily.
Post-Import Tips
Confirm role assignments are correct - this controls visibility (especially for Managers).
You can send assessments immediately or stage the rollout by cohort.
Pro Tip: Uploading a clean list with accurate manager relationships upfront saves time and ensures managers see the right results and teams.
