(Managers, if you're hoping to assess your team members, head here)

To get started, click Start Assessment on your Profile Page.

Alternatively, go to the Assessments Tab and click on Start Assessment

Then, choose Full Assessment, your name (if applicable), and Start.

Tip: Give yourself some time to do a thorough job. Make a goal to have a supporting comment for every competency rating, whether you're working on it, outperforming on it, or anywhere in between.

Once you've started your self-assessment, you can finish it in one setting or over time. Just click directly on a rating, in this case, Delivering and add additional comments below if you wish to leave context. By default any completed goals you are assigned to will show up as Examples.

The Rubric automatically updates as you go through each competency. Feedback and Assessments show recent feedback or past assessments since your last cycle for these competencies.

Rate each competency independently of all the others and as objectively as you can. It's very possible to be excelling in one area and working on another, for example. Use the definitions below to help decide the appropriate rating for each:

Building - You're working on this competency. Perhaps you recently moved up a level or into a new role. While you outperformed at your last level, you've just started developing at this next level.

Improving - You are improving on a competency if you've started to build a track record of success at it, yet are still working on how to maintain consistency.

Delivering - When you're on track with a competency, that behavior or skill has become second nature to you, resulting in consistency and quality.

Excelling - You're excelling when you are consistently doing a quality job with this competency and also going above and beyond on occasion.

Outperforming - You're outperforming when you are going above and beyond in every context of this competency and you are ready to take on the competency at the next level.

After you've finished assessing each set of competencies, you'll come to three final prompts: Start Doing, Stop Doing, and Continue Doing. Finish out your self-reflection by listing out the highest impact things you can start, stop, and continue.

To finish up, click Review under the retro questions, you will now be taken to a final review screen.

Click submit once you are satisfied with your assessment.

Once you submit your self-assessment, you will no longer be able to view or edit it, so wait to submit until you're satisfied with your ratings and comments.

Your manager won't see your results until they complete their assessment of you. Once they do, you'll both have access to the calibration chart, be sure to have a calibration conversation to discuss where you and your manager are aligned and where you're not. Remember misalignment isn't necessarily a bad thing--just an opportunity to get even more on the same page!
