Example of Rating Potential Using the Potential Assessment

The potential assessment is a questionnaire that calculates potential rating for a worker based on the responses reviewers provide before a talent review meeting. The potential assessment calculates the total number of points for each response based on the Potential Assessment rating model.

Talent review reviewers use potential assessment on the Prepare Review Content page. Select My Client Groups > Talent Review. You create the potential assessment on the Questionnaires page. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the following:

  • Offering: Workforce Development

  • Functional Area: Talent Review

  • Task: Potential Assessment

Settings That Affect Potential Assessment

There are three configurations that affect the ranking score:

  • Number of rating levels, and the numeric rating assigned to each level, in the Potential Assessment rating model

  • Number of rating levels, and review points and points range assigned to each level in the Potential Rating Model

  • Number of questions in the Potential Rating (potential assessment) questionnaire

How Potential Rating Is Calculated

The potential assessment contains a set of questions with responses associated with the Potential Assessment rating model. Each possible response represents one unique rating level in the Potential Assessment rating model. The value of each response is the same as the numeric rating for the rating level.

Each rating level in the Potential Rating Model is associated with a range of review points.

When the reviewer completes the potential assessment:

  1. The total value of the selected responses is calculated by adding the numeric rating for the rating levels in Potential Assessment rating model.

  2. The calculated total is compared to the range of review points in the Potential Rating Model to identify the rating level.

  3. The final potential rating is the rating level that corresponds to the sum of the review points in the Potential Rating Model that fit in the range between the From Points and To Points.

Example

In this example:

  • The Potential Rating questionnaire contains eight questions.

  • The Potential Assessment rating model contains three rating levels, one for each possible response to the questions. Each rating level has a numeric rating. The responses and their numeric ratings are:

    • Strongly Agree: 3

    • Agree: 2

    • Disagree: 1

  • The Potential Rating Model has three rating levels. The table shows the numeric ratings for each rating level in the Potential Rating Model, the short description that describes the rating level, the review points, and the points range for each level.

Note: You must configure all the Potential Rating Model attributes shown in the table to use the potential assessment.

Reviewers must answer each question to ensure that the potential assessment is valid. Because the lowest possible rating value for each question is 1, the minimum score is 8. The maximum score is 24. If the sum of the reviewer's selections is 16, that corresponds to the points range of 14-20, and the review points level is 2. The associated numeric rating for the rating level is 2 for that review points level. Therefore, the final potential rating is 2-Medium.
