Auspraegungsgrad

English translation: scope

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Auspraegungsgrad
English translation:scope
Entered by: David Hollywood

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: Auspraegungsgrad
Anzahl der Nennung gibt ueber den Auspraegungsgrad (breite und tiefe der Kompetenzen) Aufschluss.

"Anzahl der Nennung" refers to the numbers of letters allocated to different job titles to reflect their importance e.g. top managers get 3x Ls (L=leadership) while divisional managers get 2x Ls, etc.

I'm struggling with the right translation for Auspraegung here. Can anyone help? TIA

\"Kompetenzen\" could also be \"skills\" here but I think I would stick with \"responsibilities\" in your context

Explanation:
If it's as you say it is - "to reflect their importance e.g. top managers get 3x Ls (L=leadership) while divisional managers get 2x Ls, etc." - then I would go for "seniority".

Otherwise, lose the "Auspraegungsgrad" and the brackets and just translate "Breite und Tiefe der Kompetenzen"
