The SSHR Competency Profile function enables users to view and update existing competency profiles. The function is available to predefined Manager and Employee responsibilities.

Using the Competency Profile Page as Managers

When managers navigate to the Competency Profile page, they can view the list of employees in their direct-reports hierarchy. For each of the employees, the Competence Profile page displays the following tabbed regions.

• The Current Competencies tab shows the recorded employee's competencies and levels, except the competencies that are pending approval. You can add competencies or make changes to the competency levels. The link 'Correct' allows a correction to be made to a competence, this should not be used for actual level changes as no history is retained.

  You can add competencies using the competencies defined in Oracle HRMS.

  The Status Field

  The Status field, which is read only, can contain the value Achieved or In Progress.

  All non-unit-standard competencies have the status Achieved, by default. When you add a competency to the profile, the Status field is blank. Oracle SSHR populates the field only when you save the competency profile. When a worker achieves all outcomes for a unit standard competency, its status is Achieved. Otherwise, its status is In Progress.

• The History tab shows the history of competencies and levels for the employee.

• The Awaiting Approval tab shows changes made to the competency profile that are still pending approval.

Managers can compare employee's competencies to those of current or potential future jobs, positions, or vacancies using Suitability Matching. See: Suitability Matching

Using the Competency Profile Page as Workers

Using the Competency Profile page, workers can:

• View their current competencies and levels in the Current Competencies tabbed region.

• Add competencies to their profile using the competencies defined in Oracle HRMS.

• Make changes to their competency levels using the New Levels Attained button.

• View history of competencies and levels in the History tabbed region.

• View changes made to their competency profile that are still pending approval.

Adding Attachments

Managers and workers can attach documents supporting their competencies. If the Save Attachments check box is available in the Attachments region, then they can select this option to make these attachments available in the Oracle HRMS People window.

Star Ratings in the Competency Profile

If your enterprise uses the star ratings feature, then as managers and workers, you can use and view star ratings in the following pages and regions of the Competency Profile:

• Current Competencies

• Correct Competencies

• Enter New Levels

• Proposed Changes table

In the All Actions Awaiting Your Attention function, the star rating component is displayed for approvers, when a Competency Profile transaction is submitted for approval.
