Competency frameworks

Competency Management is a fundamental component in assessing employee performance, identifying requirements for training and development, and cultivating talent pools for Employee Performance Management. Covalent uses competency checklists specific to particular job roles so you can evaluate employees' demonstration of relevant competencies. You can build a library of individual competency templates, tailored to your organisation's needs and comprising those competencies that are predictive of job success and that describe exactly what ideal performance looks like.

Multiple competency libraries

Create and manage multi-level competency templates or import existing models, criteria and definitions. Specify the name, description and performance level outline for each competency factor. Assign weights to emphasize relative importance in the staff appraisals process. Automatically populate the checklists for all people assigned to that job when the competency requirements change.

Personalised competency ratings

Assess employee strengths and weaknesses against defined competencies using the Employee Performance Management rating scale. Browse the competency profile of an employee to identify skill gaps that prevent complete fulfilment of the role.

Competency analysis

View the skill capability of the organisation, identify strengths and weaknesses and assess risks. Analyse skills, competencies and capabilities to determine organisational competence in relation to overall business objectives. Identify the learning and development requirements to close the competency gaps of an individual or a team. Discover employees with the appropriate blend of competencies, skills, job roles and other criteria to work on a new project or fill a vacancy.
