Talent Intelligence Hub enables organizations to maintain people attributes critical for their success. These attributes are stored and maintained in a centralized library known as the Attributes Library. People in the organization can access these attributes and add them to their unique repository of attributes known as the Growth Portfolio.
In this course, we will focus on competencies and skills only, which are the two types supported in Performance and 360 Reviews attribute sections and can be rated in these forms. From the Manage Talent Intelligence Hub administrator tool, we can review the attributes and other relevant content.
Hint
To explore the Talent Intelligence Hub in more detail, as well as the migration of content from other frameworks, general setup and capabilities, and the options to import and export content, you can review the SAP SuccessFactors Platform Administration (HR800) course.

Sections in Talent Intelligence Hub
- Attributes: All attributes are listed in this tab, and there is a filter capability for searching. The Attributes Library is a repository that allows organizations to define attributes they expect. Organizations can develop talent by enabling people to access these attributes.
- Attribute Types: The attributes in the library are grouped into individual categories based on the attribute type. For example, all attributes that belong to the skills category can be grouped under the attribute type Skill, whereas the competencies will be grouped under the type Competency.

- Behaviors: Displays the available behaviors from associated attributes, like competencies. There are also searching options available, and new behaviors can be created or existing ones can be edited.
- Tags: The Tags, which are used to categorize all the attributes. Talent Intelligence Hub includes three standard tags:
- Core: Tags that are important and uphold the business value of the organization are labeled as Core tags.
The Core tag will be used to indicate Core competencies or Core skills within the organization, which could be used to pull these attributes into Performance or 360 Reviews forms as general attribute sections, not dependent on the job role mapping, but applicable to any employee being evaluated.
- Critical: Tags that are critical to the success of the organization are labeled as Critical tags. These tags are associated to attributes that are unique and critical for the organization.
- Trending: Tags that are important and preferred by many people in the organization are labeled as Trending tags.
- Core: Tags that are important and uphold the business value of the organization are labeled as Core tags.
Note
The following example shows a list of attributes of type Competency, organized with the tags SuccessFactors 2.1 Competency Library and SuccessFactors Premium Library. These tags refer to the 2.1 Library name and default category that was migrated from Job Description Manager or Center of Capabilities into TIH.

Other Sections in Manage Talent Intelligence Hub
- Proficiency Settings: This section is organized into two sub-options:
- Rating Scale: From this menu, rating scales (referred to as Proficiency Level Scales) can be created and edited, as well as being associated to one or more attribute types. When creating a new Proficiency Level Scale, you can define the number of levels (like a 5-point scale will have 5 levels) and determine if the lowest level value will be 0 or 1, if a Too New to Rate value should be included, and provide each level's names and descriptions.
- Rating History: From this menu, you can select one or more forms to assign the appropriate rating history type. There are three types of rating history types:
- Performance: If the attribute is associated with a Performance or 360 Reviews form template, the attribute is marked as Unrated
- Proficiency: If the attribute is associated with a Proficiency form template, the proficiency ratings for the attribute are normalized based on the proficiency level scale you configured. The attribute, along with its normalized ratings, is displayed in the Growth Portfolio. If an attribute is associated with forms of both Proficiency and Performance template types, the ratings in the Performance and/or 360 Reviews form templates aren't considered. Instead, the latest assessed ratings from the Proficiency template are normalized and displayed in the Growth Portfolio.
- None: If the rating history type is set to None, the proficiency ratings provided in the Performance and 360 Reviews forms are not considered.

- Portfolio Settings: From this section, administrators can enable/disable Growth Portfolio for the organization.
