Transform your employee experience with data-driven career insights that help employees understand their growth potential, discover internal opportunities, and see where their pay sits in the band.

Overview

Employee Insights provides three features:

  1. Succession Readiness - Identify future leaders and track readiness timelines
  2. Internal Opportunities - Skills-based matching with open positions
  3. Salary Band Position - Where your pay sits within your band

Feedback-based development lives in the AI Career Coach. See the Career guide.

1. Succession Readiness

Available in: Business, Custom

What It Shows

Your succession readiness score indicates how prepared you are for leadership roles or next-level positions. The score is the share of the target role level's required competencies and skills you already meet, with partial credit when you are one level short. It uses no performance rating, no potential rating and no calibration data.

Visual Example

Succession Readiness

Ready in 1 to 2 years Readiness Score 75/100 Target roles:
  • Senior Engineering Manager
  • Technical Director
  • Principal Engineer

Understanding Your Score

How Skills Matching Works

The system calculates your match percentage using:

Match % = (Your Skills ∩ Job Skills) / Total Job Skills × 100

Example:

  • Job requires: React, TypeScript, Figma, User Research (4 skills)
  • You have: React, TypeScript, Figma (3 skills)
  • Match: 75% (3 out of 4)

Recommendation Logic:

  • ✅ 60%+ match = Recommended
  • ✅ Same career path = Recommended (even if <60%)
  • Career path alignment gets bonus scoring

3. Salary Band Position

Available in: Business, Custom

Your own band position shows on your profile's Compensation tab. Your manager, their managers and HR can see it too. If no band is assigned to your role and level, the card says so instead of showing an estimate. Market data lives in Compensation under Salary Bands > Market Data.

Privacy & Security

Data Protection

  • Salary data: Your company's pay-visibility settings and your role's permissions control access.
  • Succession data: You can see your own score when the feature is available. Managers and HR need the appropriate permission and reporting scope to see someone else's score.
  • Skills data: Access follows the permissions and scope for the person's profile.

Who Can See What

Feature You Your Manager HR/Admin
Your Succession Score ✅ ✅ ✅
Your Internal Opportunities ✅ ✅ ✅
Your Salary Position ✅ ✅ ✅
Team Succession Pipeline ❌ ✅ ✅

These entries describe permitted access, subject to your plan, role and reporting scope. Being a manager does not grant access to unrelated employees.

Common Questions

How often is data updated?

  • Succession Readiness: Calculated when you open the card, from your current competencies and skills and the target role's requirements
  • Internal Opportunities: Real-time as jobs are posted
  • Salary Position: Updates with compensation changes

How accurate is the skills matching?

Skills matching uses exact skill matches between your profile and job requirements. The more detailed your skills profile, the more accurate the matching.
