Manage Career Path Changes with Approval Workflows

Overview

Keka’s Settings Configuration for Career Paths helps organisations create a structured, review-based process to approve any changes made to defined paths. With approval levels and skill weightage options, this workflow ensures that edits go through the right stakeholders before going live.

Steps to Configure Career Path Settings

Navigating the Settings Page

To access the feature:

1. Go to the Performance module.

2. Click the Growth tab.

3. Select Career Path.

4. Click the Settings gear icon in the top-right. 

   

Enabling Approval Settings

1. Toggle Enable Review and Approval to ON.

   

2.  This activates a structured review flow for any changes made to career paths.

3.  Once enabled, changes won’t go live until they are reviewed and approved.

Setting Up Approval Chain

1. For each level of the approval chain, you can specify who is responsible for reviewing and approving changes. 

2. Assign approvers such as:

   1. Reporting Manager

   2. HR Business Partner

   3. Department Head

   4. Any custom role

   This feature allows you to include various stakeholders, such as direct supervisors, HR representatives, and senior management, in the approval process.

   

  5. Select any role  such as:

1. L2 Manager

   

Auto-approve Setting

1. Check the box for Auto-approve (and skip) approver level.

2. If the approver is not yet registered with Keka or hasn't been assigned the appropriate role, this step will be skipped.

   

Enabling Skill Weightage

1. Toggle Enable Skills Weightage to allow weighting of each skill.

2. This helps determine how much each skill contributes to readiness for a role and can guide development focus.

   

Structured Review Flow

With approvals enabled:

• Any updates to roles, levels, or skill definitions in a career path go into review.

• Approvers receive notifications to review and approve or reject the changes.

• Once approved at all levels, the updates become live.
