Concept: Competency Precedence

You can add a single competency to a worker multiple times from different sources. Examples of sources include performance reviews, talent reviews, a talent administrator, and the worker. The

Competencies

tab on the

Skills and Experience

report displays a single instance of the worker's competency. The

Compare to Job

button compares a single instance of the worker's competency to the same competency associated with the job profile or position.

Competency precedences enable you to rank the priority of the sources so Workday can determine which instance of the competency to use. If you don't set up a precedence list, Workday uses the most recent update of a competency.

These precedences apply only to competency proficiency levels, not to competency ratings. On the worker profile, the assessed and target ratings for competencies reflect evaluations based on proficiency scales. If you use a rating scale to evaluate competencies in an employee review, access the history from the competency's related actions menu to view the ratings.
