Real Change Lies in Relationships Beyond the Org Chart

Change is inevitable in today’s workplace—whether due to rapid growth, shifting company priorities, or team reorganization. Amidst this whirlwind, it’s easy to overlook the relationships that provide the stability and emotional support we need to weather the storm. These connections—mentors, peers, and trusted colleagues—become crucial anchors, helping you stay grounded and resilient through transformations.

At Peerdom, we understand the challenges of organizational change. That’s why we introduced the Mentioned Relationships feature to help you track and nurture the connections that matter most, no matter how your organization evolves.

Why Strong Relationships Are Essential

In an environment where roles, teams, and responsibilities constantly shift, it’s the supportive relationships that often provide the resilience we need. While workflows and deliverables are essential, it’s the non-transactional connections—those built on trust, shared experience, and guidance—that help us thrive.

These relationships offer more than just emotional support. They align your personal growth with broader organizational goals, ensuring you stay on track even when external factors change. A mentor’s perspective or a peer’s regular feedback can boost your confidence, provide valuable perspectives, and offer reassurance in times of change.

How Peerdom Helps You Strengthen Your Relationships

No matter where you are in your professional journey—whether you're starting a new job, navigating performance reviews, or planning career growth—visibility into your key relationships helps you stay connected.

Peerdom makes it easy to track and access these connections. Here’s how professionals are already using our tools to stay connected during times of change.

During Onboarding

Starting a new job can be overwhelming, especially when teams are constantly shifting. At Ivy Global, new hires are assigned a Buddy to guide them through their first year, ensuring they feel supported and included.

To keep track of these relationships, Ivy Global has a Buddy role within their org chart. In each region they operate—Delft and Amsterdam—there are dedicated peers assigned to this role. This approach ensures clarity around who is responsible for onboarding, helping new employees integrate smoothly into the company.

During Performance Reviews

Peer feedback plays a crucial role in professional growth, offering diverse perspectives and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. But in dynamic teams, it can be challenging to track who is providing feedback and support.

With Mentioned Relationships, peers are linked in each other’s profiles, showing who’s providing feedback to whom for each review cycle. This makes feedback a two-way process, fostering mutual growth. It creates a culture of accountability, where contributions are recognized, progress is tracked, and development is supported by all.

During Career Development Planning

Mentorship is essential for professional growth, but in evolving workplaces, it can be difficult to maintain strong mentor-mentee relationships. Puzzle ITC understands this challenge well. Their coaches help guide employees through career planning and skills development, but as teams change, keeping track of these relationships becomes difficult.

With Peerdom’s Mentioned Relationships, Puzzle ITC ensures that peer coaching remains a priority. Coaches are automatically linked to their coachees, allowing them to stay informed, offer timely advice, and provide guidance when it matters most. This transparency fosters stronger relationships, making career development more effective and meaningful.

Keep Track of Relationships that Matter Most

Peerdom makes it easy to stay connected. With the newly released Mentioned Peer Relationships feature, you now have even greater visibility into your connections. When a peer mentions you in their profile—whether as a line manager, mentor, or feedback partner—this relationship will automatically appear on your profile as well. This makes it easier to track mutual connections, recognize support networks, and stay aligned with the people who help you grow.
