Self Service Considerations for Assigning Competencies to Employees
Because maintaining competency information for all of the employees in an organization can be a time consuming task for human resources representatives, the organization might have set up the employee competency programs as self service programs that managers can access from the Managers Workbench program (P08712). Managers can enter and review competency information for only those employees who report to them.
The organization can also activate the employee self service programs for competency management. Employees can use these programs to enter their own competency information and then request that their managers approve the information. The employee self service programs for competency management are slightly different from the competency programs that you access from the Competency Management menu and the Managers Workbench program; however, the two sets of programs contain essentially the same information.
