Hi Narayana,
Skills Matrix in a Company
A Skills Matrix in a company is a tool used to assess, track, and manage employees' skills, competencies, and expertise levels. It helps organizations identify skill gaps, plan training programs, and allocate resources effectively.
Key Components of a Skills Matrix
Employee Names/Roles – Lists employees and their job positions.
Skills/Competencies – Identifies specific skills required for a role (e.g., technical, soft skills, compliance, etc.).
Proficiency Levels – Rates employees' expertise in each skill (e.g., Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
Training Needs – Highlights areas where training or development is required.
Department/Function – Categorizes employees based on departments (HR, Legal, Engineering, etc.).
