New Development Need

You can enter new development needs for skills or competencies that have been assessed for that team member, or as separately identified development needs outside the skills or competency assessment processes. You can use the Development Plan process to enter all development needs for your Team Members. You can also:

  • Use the Skills Process to enter a new skill and identify it as a development need. The skill is then added to Team Member's Development Plan.
  • Use the latest Competency Assessment and identify a competency as a development need. The competency is then added to the Team Member's Development Plan.

If permitted by your policy, both Team Members and their managers can enter new development needs from the Development Plan, with Team Members restricted to Skills and Development Objectives. Needs entered by the Team Member must be approved by the manager before they become active.
