Introduction to Employee Levels

A Level is an employee property in ThriveSparrow that indicates where an employee sits within your organization's hierarchy.

Levels are arranged in a predefined order that establishes the organizational hierarchy. The lowest level appears at the top, while the highest level appears at the bottom.

Understanding Levels in Thrivesparrow

Levels are hierarchical by default, let's say in the above image the

Level for an engineer would be

Individual Contributor 1 -> Individual Contributor 2 -> Software Engineer 1 ...etc.

Level for Sales department would be

Individual Contributor 1 -> Individual Contributor 2 -> GTM IC1 -> GTM IC2 ..etc

Reordering Levels

To make level ordering easier, simply drag and drop levels to move them to their desired position in the hierarchy.

Linking Employees to Organizational Levels

You can link a level to an Employee in 2 ways

In the Employee side panel, assign the appropriate Level to each employee using the Level property.
To update levels for multiple employees at once, use the bulk CSV upload.

Using Levels for Competency Matrix

A Competency Matrix defines the expected competencies for employees at each level within your organization.

Once an employee is assigned a Level and competency expectations are configured for that level, those expectations will automatically appear in the employee's view, giving them clear visibility into the skills and behaviors expected at their level.
