détaillez-en la signification


Explanation:
"make it meaningful" could also be rendered with "rendez-le lisible" pour eux, the English structure cannot be fully kept with "signifiant" or "significatif"

ait un sens pour eux


Explanation:
ou leur soit significatif

Je crois que l'on parle ici d'une démarche en Ressources Humaines visant à stimuler les troupes.

Quant à 'P&DD' =Performance and Dialogue Development, on parlerait davantage en français de Favoriser le Perfectionnement et l'Échange (dialogue).

Example sentence(s):
  • Assurez-vous que ceci ait un sens pour eux/ leur soit significatif/ leur allume une lumière/ leur dise quelque chose
