Trakstar Perform Competency Library
Every Trakstar Perform account includes a Competency Library containing more than 100 pre-built competencies. These competencies have been developed through years of research and are based on common competencies used across a wide range of organizations.
You can use the existing competency library as-is or customize it to meet your organization's needs by creating new competencies or editing existing ones.
Access the Competency Library
- Sign in as an administrator.
- In the navigation menu, expand Forms.
- Select Competencies.
The Competencies page displays all competencies currently available in your organization's competency library.

Create a New Competency
If your organization uses competencies that are not included in the default library, you can create additional competencies.
To add a competency:
- Navigate to Forms > Competencies.
- Select Add Competency in the upper-right corner.
- Enter the competency information.
- Save the new competency.
There is no limit to the number of competencies you can add to your competency library.

Edit an Existing Competency
To update an existing competency:
- Navigate to Forms > Competencies.
- Select the competency you want to edit.
From the competency page, you can update information such as:
- Competency title
- Description
- Rating scale
Save your changes when you are finished editing.

Use Coaching Tips
Each competency includes an optional Coaching Tips tab.
Coaching tips can be used to guide conversations between managers and employees during the review process by providing discussion prompts or coaching guidance related to the competency being evaluated.
Using coaching tips is optional and can help encourage more meaningful performance conversations during review cycles.
