Overview: Competencies

Understanding Company Competencies and Linking Them to Objectives, Reviews, Feedback and Awards

If your company has established its business competencies, then these can be incorporated in to the framework of your StaffCircle platform. Competencies are linked to several features, including objectives, review questions, real-time feedback, and awards. If you are using Success Circles, the Succession Planning Dashboard, or Career Development Plans, your company competencies must be configured correctly to ensure that these features work to their fullest.

The image below shows the Succession Planning Dashboard and how employees measure against each of your company’s competencies. The visual to the left of the image is your company’s Success Circle, which represents all employees in the business. Each segment of the Success Circle reflects one of your company’s competencies.

Examples of activities which contribute to an employee’s Success Circle could include:

• When an employee is assigned an award which has been linked to one of your company’s competencies
• When an employee scores highly on a question in a review where that question has been linked to a company competency
• When an employee receives real-time feedback on a company competency, or a value/behaviour which is linked to a company competency
• When an employee makes progress or completes an objective which is linked to company competency

If your platform is not utilising all of the features above, you can disable them at a competency level. Please refer to the Add a Company Competency section below for further information.
