Maintain Skill Level

Maintain Skill Level

For Workday to calculate skill levels, you must enable skill ratings as a skill level source. You can create custom labels for Workday to display on a worker's skill details instead of the default skill level labels.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Skill Level Setup
    task.
  2. As you complete this task, consider:
    Option Description
    Skill Level Rating Name Override
    (Optional) Enter a custom label to use as an override for a skill level rating name. Each field corresponds to the default label that you can override. Leave these fields blank if you want to use the default rating name.
    Skill Level Rating Description Override
    (Optional) Enter a custom description for the rating, up to 100 characters long.
    Workday displays the custom description only when you access a skill from the worker profile. When you access a skill from the Career Profile, Workday displays the default rating descriptions for the self-rating scale and skill level description if an override isn't configured.
    Workday doesn't display skill level rating description overrides on the
    Assess My Skills
    task.
    Skill Level Calculation
    Enter the weightings for the skill level sources that you plan to use:
    • Requested Feedback Ratings
    • Self Assessment
    • Externally Calculated Skill Level
    The weighting must total 100 percent for all the skill sources. If you don't enter a weight for 1 skill level source, Workday won't include the source when calculating skill level. If you don't enter a weight for any source, Workday won't calculate a skill level.
