Evaluate Competencies

Competency evaluation topics display all the competencies that exist across all the employees’ performance documents.

As a manager, you can’t evaluate competencies that aren't applicable to a specific employee. Configure the Maximum Number of Items for Mass Evaluations (ORA_HRA_MASS_EVALUATION_ITEM_LIMIT) profile option to determine the combined maximum number of competencies across all employee performance documents that can display in a competency evaluation topic. Setting the profile option to a lower number improves application performance. If the combined number of competencies in a performance document is higher than the number allowed, then you won’t see individual competencies in All-in-One Evaluations. Instead, they can select the count of each employee's competencies to navigate to their individual performance documents to provide ratings and comments. Managers can still enter competency section ratings and comments directly in All-in-One Evaluations or in the individual performance documents.

Note: If more than one competency section is configured, each section displays as a separate evaluation topic in All-in-One Evaluations.

You can perform these actions during the manager evaluation task on the same page:

• Provide a proficiency level or performance rating for employees' competencies
• Provide an evaluation comment for employees' competencies
• View the number of items the manager has rated and commented for competency
• View employees' self-evaluated proficiency levels or performance ratings for their competencies
• View the employee's self-section rating
• View the employee's self-section comment
• View employees' self-evaluated comments for their competencies

To perform additional actions, select the employee’s name from All-in-One Evaluations to navigate to individual performance documents.

You can't edit target performance ratings for competencies in All-in-One Evaluations. You can only set or update target performance ratings for new competencies that you or an employee add directly in the individual performance documents during the Set Goals and Manager Evaluation tasks. You can't edit target proficiency levels. Target proficiencies are set by HR as the minimum proficiency level on a competency for a job profile, or directly in the performance template.
