How Competencies are Populated in Performance Documents
Let’s look at how competencies are populated in a performance document.
- Content library
- Model profile that the employee matches
- Talent profile
- Any other specified profile
Content Library Competencies
The competencies in the content library apply to model profile competency sections. These competencies are populated based on the job, position, or organization profile. Workers and managers can also add a specific competency for an employee from the content library in the performance document.
Model Profile Competencies
If new competencies are added to a model profile you can update the performance document to bring the latest changes in. You can use the update competencies action to update competencies in the performance document.
However, if you remove competencies from a model profile after a performance document is created, then you need to manually remove them from the performance document. If weights and minimum weights are enabled in the performance document, these default in the performance document with competencies populated from a model profile. Changes to the weights in a model profile won’t update the weights that already exist in the performance document.
Talent Profile Competencies
Competency sections in a performance document that are populated from the employees talent profile are automatically synchronized. This means if new competencies are added or removed from the employee’s talent profile they are also added or removed in the performance document. Competencies are only removed if they haven't been evaluated.
Target proficiency is populated with the model profile competencies (using the minimum proficiency) and can’t be updated in the performance document. Use Minimum Proficiency in the model or talent profile to define the target proficiency in the performance document.
After you’ve added the competency to the performance document, the target proficiency isn’t updated, and can’t be edited.
If there are common competencies defined and added to a performance template for all employees at the organization level then when you create a performance document, the performance document can inherit those competencies from the performance template.
Competency evaluation topics are automatically populated with competencies from a model or person profile. Competency sections are either updated from the model profiles that they’re associated with or from the employee’s talent profile.
