Who gives the ratings
The employee, their manager, colleagues and, if needed, direct reports. The gap between the self-assessment and how others rate the person is the most valuable part of the report.
How many competencies to take
3–5 for one role. With more, the questionnaire gets long and the answers lose accuracy.
