Understanding Job Competency Information

You use competency management to track the competencies that employees possess and to compare these competencies with those that are required for the job. You define job competencies to establish the criteria required for each job in the organization. You can make job competencies as specific or general as you select. Job Competencies are a higher level grouping of employee competencies. To ensure that job competencies apply to a variety of employees in many different jobs, you might decide to define job competencies more broadly than employee competencies.

When you define job competencies, you can enter detailed descriptions for them. These descriptions are electronic attachments to the form. Then, use competency options to indicate the employee competencies that fulfill a particular job competency. To review a written summary of all of the competency descriptions that are associated with a particular job, print the Job Profile report (R080021).
