Competency Framework Settings

This section allows you to define the structure of your competency framework by managing competency categories and professional levels. Use it to align how competencies are grouped and how professional growth is evaluated across your organization.


Categories

This tab displays the predefined categories used to group specific competencies. Each category includes a customizable identification color and a definition to ensure consistent application across the organization.

Knowledge: Refers to an individual's theoretical understanding and practical application of job-related information.

Skills: Encompasses specific abilities and proficiencies required to perform job tasks. 

Behavior: Evaluates an employee's actions, attitudes, and behaviors about organizational values and expectations.

Attitude: Assesses an employee's overall approach, mindset, and work ethic.

You can edit or delete these categories and add new ones as needed.

Levels

Use this tab to define the proficiency levels that measure how well an employee demonstrates a competency. These levels create a consistent progression across all competency categories, from Novice and Advanced Beginner to CompetentProficient, and Expert.
Note: Existing professional levels can’t be deleted, but their names and descriptions can be customized to match your organization’s standards.
