Role Readiness forms are performance forms that allow employees to rate themselves on competencies associated with roles they are considering as part of their career development. These forms help employees estimate how ready they are for future roles.
The Role Readiness form is also called a Competency Assessment form. Role Readiness forms are most commonly accessed via links on a Career Worksheet.
The Role Readiness form allows the user to measure themselves against the Future Role competencies, so they can see the gaps and create development objectives to help bridge those gaps.
Note
With the<permission for="launch-assessment-form"> setting configured in the Career Worksheet template, roles that are granted this permission can see the Evaluate Readiness link in the Career Worksheet. By choosing the link, they launch a Role Readiness form for a specific job role, and the form will be routed according to its route map until completion. As an admin, you cannot use proxy to access a user's Role Readiness form in the Career Worksheet. Succession planners are able to launch Role Readiness forms from the Succession Org Chart.A standard CDP implementation utilizes at least one Role Readiness form and often two: one for an employee’s current role and one for future roles an employee is considering (the more common option). A Performance Management license is required to use Role Readiness forms.

Additional settings for the template can be changed under Manage Form Templates (navigate to Form Template Settings). The Role Readiness template can be downloaded, and many other settings can be edited, such as the spelling and legal checks. The Route Map can also be set through Manage Form Templates.
