How to Assign Competency Levels to Employees in BrioHR Performance Cycle

Introduction

After creating the list of competencies for your performance cycle, HR Admins must assign the appropriate competency level to each employee. This ensures employees are evaluated based on the skills, behaviours, and expectations relevant to their job roles throughout the appraisal period.

By assigning competency levels correctly, HR Admins ensure a fair and structured performance appraisal experience. This setup helps align employee performance expectations with organizational competency standards.
