❓ What are the Skill evaluation levels in Zest?
When a Skill is evaluated in Zest (through a Review or from the Skills page), it is based on a standardized scale.
📊 The 6 evaluation levels
- Not measurable: the Skill has not yet been evaluated.
- Novice (1): the Employee is just starting and needs close support.
- Beginner (2): first foundations acquired, able to complete certain simple tasks.
- Competent (3): satisfactory mastery, can work autonomously on the Skill.
- High-performing (4): advanced mastery, the Skill is a real strength in the role.
- Expert (5): a reference on the subject, able to train and support other Employees.
⚠️ Important points to know
- This scale is the Zest reference and remains consistent from one campaign to another.
- Depending on the Review configuration, the evaluation can:
- either be limited to the Review (no direct impact on the Skill record),
- or update the actual progress of the Skill in the Employee’s portfolio.
