Competency Assessment overview

The Competency Assessment process enables team members to be assessed against a list of competencies and behaviors. The assessment is carried out by the manager as a training need analysis, or by the manager, team member, peers and the team member’s team members as 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 to be assessed:

  • The competencies and behaviors are listed in a competency library.
  • A job profile is created combining a selection of competencies, typically by your HR Team.
  • A manager or HR administrator selects a job profile with the competencies appropriate for each team member.
