Skills management is vital for any human resources department.
Decisions such as training, team distribution, or recruitment goals are influenced by the skills of your workforce, its composition, and its distribution.
In certain job positions, specific skills are a legal requirement, making their tracking mandatory to avoid penalties.
Some of the benefits of keeping track of your employees' skills include:
- Planning for future hiring needs.
- Training and development courses tailored to employees' needs.
- Better management and evaluation of employee performance.
- More efficient team assignments and workforce planning.
- Legal compliance.
Our talent management software includes a comprehensive skills management system. Here are some of its most relevant features.
Adding skills
Skills are grouped into categories for easier management.
When creating skills, you can define a validity period, since some skills require periodic renewal.
You can also set a reminder period — for example, 2 months before the validity expires — and the system will automatically notify you that renewal is approaching.
Assigning skills
Once defined, you can assign them to your team members.
If a skill requires renewal, you'll add the date it was obtained so the system automatically calculates the next renewal dates and adds an entry to your calendar. Additionally, when the renewal reminder period arrives, you'll receive an alert and an email notifying you that renewal is due.
Objectives
TalentoHQ lets you define objectives by company, office, team, and more, so you can set your skill requirements and track how they're distributed.
You can assign a date to each objective to prioritize hiring or team restructuring.
Report
With the skills report, you can see at a glance the composition and distribution of your current employees' skills.
Using the different search filters (office, team, etc.), you can get the information you need, grouped either by category or broken down by individual skill.
Summary
TalentoHQ provides a skills management system that's easy to use and very comprehensive.
Thanks to its reports and features like automatic renewal reminders, you can understand how skills are distributed across your company and make informed decisions about important matters such as career development, new employee recruitment, relocation, and more.
