I forgot to answer your other question about tracking employee engagement. We make people track their work down to the 15 minute increment, and make sure they hit specific allocations per project exactly. We also micromanage their tasks in Jira so all of the time tracking lines up to tickets.

For the love of god do not do this. Engineers hate this and flee from it in droves.

I'm definitely not interested in micromanaging, I just want to have some way to measure the effectiveness of the program. Certifications makes a whole lot of sense, because there's a required exam.
I get it where you are heading, but I'm more a "showoff" person. I can talk about the things I have done and things that I want to learn and definitely need to learn.

If you look at my GitHub, there are some things missing, like CI/CD, MSFTStudy with powershell, AWS and Azure things.

I follow the books that have exams in them, but I don't the exams.
