Organizations Want to Move to a Skills-Based Approach but Can’t Accurately Evaluate Employee Skills
Organizations are shifting to a skills-based talent approach. But practically mapping and evaluating the skills of each employee can be very challenging. Without robust methods for assessment, some organizations overlook existing talent because they have no way to identify existing skills, while others rely on self-reported skills that may not accurately reflect actual skills. Practical evaluations of skills are costly and complex, further complicating efforts to assess workforce skills accurately. The net result?
Organizations are largely flying blind when it comes to mapping the skills of their workforce.
