CAPABILITIES

## Everything you need to build your competency pool.

Competency, behavioral indicator, job title and annual competency assignment, plus five quick wins: import templates, copy from previous year, bulk competency assignment, search, and role hierarchy.

### Competency Library

The central pool where organization-specific competencies are defined. Each competency includes at least 1 behavioral indicator, an optional description, and an orderable indicator list.

At least 1 behavioral indicator required

Orderable indicators

Optional description field

### Behavioral Indicators

Observable and orderable behavioral statements that make each competency concrete.

### Job Title Catalog

The job title catalog that enables position-based competency matching.

### Annual Competency Assignment

Tracks which competencies are active for each employee for each year on a yearly basis.

### Copy from Previous Year

The most-used feature at year start. Competencies can be copied from the previous year for the entire organization or selected users.

### Bulk Assignment

Update a user's entire competency list for the current year in bulk.

### Role Hierarchy

Admin builds the library; managers can assign competencies from this pool to their direct reports based on their positions.

POSITION × COMPETENCY

## Each role is evaluated on its own competencies.

Competencies are linked to one or more job titles. When assigning competencies to employees, the system guides administrators based on the employee's position.
