Why Organizations Need Skills Visibility

Many organizations know the positions they have, but do not always know the full range of skills, capabilities and potential that exist within their workforce.

A job title tells an organization where an employee sits. A résumé tells part of an employee's history. A performance review tells part of an employee's current performance. But none of these necessarily provides a complete picture of what a person is actually capable of contributing.

01

Job titles are not enough

Two people with the same job title can possess very different skill profiles. If an organization sees only the title, it may miss these crucial differences in capability.

02

Better workforce decisions

Skills visibility allows organizations to understand which capabilities exist internally, which are hard to find, and which employees could take on new responsibilities.

03

Visibility is not surveillance

The purpose is not to constantly judge employees, but to create better visibility for development, deployment and contribution.

04

Looking beyond skills

Skills visibility becomes more powerful when combined with an understanding of natural gifts, values, career interests, and workplace fit.
