Changing and Tracking Progress

Changing Progress: Progress change happens in two ways

• Automatically
  For a competency, when you receive praises your progress increases and when you receive advises your progress decreases
• Manually
  Once you have completed initiatives or you had a discussion with your manager about your progress, you or your manager can simply check in by changing the progress.
  Whoever among you or your manager selects a level of progress , they have to check in with a comment about the recent progress

There are 5 levels in progress:

• Not critical : The employee does not need this competency to be successful in this role
• Starting : The employee has just started working on this competency
• Building : The employee is currently making healthy progress to developing this competency
• Skilled : The employee has displayed this competency consistently over a period of time
• Excelled : The employee has displayed this competency consistently and is helping peers develop this competency
  
  

Tracking Progress : You can track progress of the competency from the line chart which shows you point when you checked in to change progress.
