Assigning Role Skills

By evaluating your team’s role skill strength, you are assessing your team’s preparedness for the roles they are in, and any gaps you can help them fill. A role skill, in this context, is a skill that is specified in the Skills Center content section on a job profile.

A job profile, and by extension, a role skill on that job profile, is specified centrally by an HR representative and applies uniformly to all people in that role regardless of the organization they are in. Role skill additions and updates are queued to be picked up by a background process scheduled by the Administrator, and propagated to impacted employee profiles, such these skills show in their Skills Center pages. If the required skill already exists on a profile, the background process will simply update the required skill level, if specified, to the highest level required among all the level requirements specified.
