  Free-floating competency is a feature of the SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LOD-SF-LMS) that allows users to assign competencies to employees without having to assign them to a specific job role. This allows for more flexibility in assigning competencies and allows for more accurate tracking of employee skills.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the free-floating competency feature, users must first create a competency profile for each employee. This profile should include the employee’s skills, knowledge, and abilities. Once the profile is created, users can then assign competencies to the employee without having to assign them to a specific job role. This allows for more flexibility in assigning competencies and allows for more accurate tracking of employee skills.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a competency profile for an employee, it is important to ensure that the profile accurately reflects the employee’s skills, knowledge, and abilities. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the competencies assigned are relevant to the employee’s job role and are aligned with the organization’s goals and objectives.
