Why Create Competency Profiles?
Every role requires a different combination of competencies. A sales representative, for example, may not need to demonstrate the same competencies as a supervisor or software developer.
Instead of assigning competencies individually to every employee, competency profiles bring them together into a reusable model for a specific role, team, or job family.
This gives employees and managers a shared reference point for understanding what matters in the role. It also helps create more consistent feedback while significantly reducing the administrative work required to manage competencies.

Tailored Profiles to Your Organization
Competency profiles are fully customizable. Create as many as needed to reflect your organizational structure and the different realities of your employees.
For example, create profiles for:
Human Resources Advisors
Directors
Sales Representatives
Supervisors
Technicians
Software Developers
Each profile can bring together the competencies that are most relevant to that role.
As roles evolve, simply update the profile to keep expectations aligned with your organization’s needs.
Why Use Competency Profiles?
A competency profile can be assigned to multiple employees. This ensures employees in similar roles are assessed using the same guidelines.
Competency profiles help organizations:
standardize expectations across similar roles
simplify competency assignment
create greater consistency in manager feedback
easily update expectations as roles evolve
save time when onboarding new employees
Turn Competencies into Better Conversations
Assign the same competency profile to multiple employees performing similar roles to create a common foundation for feedback.
When a profile is assigned to an employee, its competencies automatically become available during manager feedback.
Managers can then focus on what matters most for the employee’s role, recognize strengths, explore opportunities for development, and have more focused conversations about professional growth.
The goal is not simply to assess competencies. It is to help employees and managers better understand where the employee is today and where they can grow next.
