Quick answer
Every skill has five levels, 1 to 5, described in your organisation's own words. You set your self level; your manager (or an HR admin) sets the manager level. Assessments are visible to you, your manager and HR admins only.
The two sides of an assessment
Each skill row on a person's page has a Self side and a Manager side, each with a level, a short note of evidence and the date it was set. Neither side can write the other's column.
What the framework does not do yet
It does not change the reviews module, the talent matrix or growth plans, and it does not recommend training. It records where people stand against a shared vocabulary; those links can come later.
Frequently asked questions
- Who can see my assessments?
- You, your manager and HR admins. A colleague who is not your manager cannot read them.
- Can I set my own manager level?
- No. The self level is yours; the manager level belongs to your manager or an HR admin. The two sit next to each other so a gap is visible rather than hidden.
- Do skills feed reviews or growth plans?
- Not yet. The framework records levels; the reviews, talent matrix and growth modules are unchanged for now.
