Capability Assessment

Displays any outstanding self-assessments the user needs to complete.

Benefit: Promotes timely completion by surfacing tasks directly on login.

Capability Assessment Spider Graph

Shows a visual comparison between the user’s self-assessment, their supervisor’s assessment, and the assigned level.

Benefit: Enables users to quickly identify strengths and development gaps.

Capability Plan Progress

Displays the user’s development plan completion percentage and remaining actions.

Benefit: Encourages ownership of development by highlighting progress and next steps.

Supervisor Development Plan Progress

Visible only to users with supervisor permissions. Summarises each direct report’s progress through their development plans.

Benefit: Gives supervisors oversight of team capability growth in real time.

Only assign the Supervisor Development Plan Progress widget to dashboards used by people managers.
Avoid overcrowding—place no more than 4–6 widgets per dashboard view.
