Rating Models

Use rating models to rate employees on their performance and level of proficiency in the skills and qualities that are set up on the person profile. You can also use rating models to specify target proficiency levels for items on a model profile, so that the model profile can be compared to employees' profiles. Use the Profile Rating Models task in the Profiles work area to create a rating model.

To rate employees on their performance and proficiency, attach rating models to the content sections included in the person profile. Then you can rate employees on the items within the type. For example, you can rate employees on the Communication profile item within the Competencies content section.

For model profiles, you can specify target proficiency levels for items on the profile, to compare model profiles with employee profiles. Using the ratings:

  • Managers can compare a model profile to employees' profiles and determine the best person suited to fill a position.
  • Employees can compare their profile to model profiles to identify:
    • Suitable positions within the organization.
    • Skill gaps and fill the gaps before applying for other positions.

Rating models that measure employees' potential and the impact and risk of loss are also available.

Rating models can include some or all of the following components, depending on the use for the model:
  • Rating Levels
  • Review Points
  • Rating Categories
  • Distributions
