Skills & Competency Management

Identifying and placing the right internal people in the right positions at the right time dramatically increases their motivation and commitment. It builds a strong connection between employees and the business, and helps you to economically and efficiently fill your key vacancies. It also reduces employee turnover, avoiding the cost and disruption of finding a replacement and the accompanying loss of critical knowledge.

With StepStone Solutions Skills & Competency Management you gain a fully rounded view of your employees’ individual abilities and their suitability for new or expanded roles. Their development and career planning can be directed accordingly, increasing their engagement and commitment.

Managers can conduct comprehensive skills analyses to identify skill gaps in their organisation’s short and long-term development objectives. With Skills & Competency Management you can define every role or position from your individual competency catalogue plus a sample catalogue with over 400 key competencies to help you in your definitions. These rich capabilities allow employers to build accurate and comprehensive job and employee talent profiles, driving more effective sourcing and recruiting programs.
