What is Competency-Guided Feedback?
Competency-guided reviews empower employees to align their self-reflections, peer feedback, and manager reviews with role expectations and career path competencies. This approach not only ensures more specific feedback but also brings consistency across roles, streamlining the transition from feedback to development.
How to Set Up Competency-Guided Reviews
To activate competencies in employee profiles during performance reviews, follow these steps:
1. Set Job Group Visibility to "All Employees"
Ensure that the job group associated with each role is set to "All Employees" to make competencies visible in employee profiles.
Why it matters: This setting ensures that all employees have access to the competencies linked to their roles during performance reviews.

2. Assign Employees to Relevant Roles
Ensure employees are assigned to the appropriate roles to allow them to access role-specific competencies.
How to do this: Create custom demographic rules that link your HR system data to roles in the platform.

3. Navigate to Performance Reviews
Once job group visibility and employee-role assignments are set:
Go to: Perform > Self-reflections in Culture Amp.
During the self-reflection process, employees will see a tab called Role competencies.
This tab allows employees to easily view competencies specific to their role making it easier to give detailed and thoughtful feedback.
Tip: Use the bulk import feature to set up or update competencies across roles more efficiently.
Note: If you need to edit career paths, the new Develop administrator permission lets you share editing access with other users.
