Competency Assessment overview

The Competency Assessment process lets you assess team members against a list of competencies and behaviors. A manager carries out the assessment as a training need analysis. Or the manager, team member, peers and the team member’s colleagues can do it as a full multi-rate 360 feedback. You can also nominate external assessors. The main purpose is to focus on the behavioral side of work performance and drive development planning.

Before you run an assessment, the team member needs a set of competencies and behaviors on which you'll assess:

  • You'll list the competencies and behaviors in a competency library
  • Your HR team create a job profile combining a selection of competencies
  • A manager or HR administrator selects a job profile with the competencies appropriate for each team member
