Hi,
Skill Matrix is a technique where the skills of the employee are mapped in a matrix format.
The process starts with:
1. Discussing with the department head or technical person to arrive at the set of skills required for the specific job/level/designation/department.
2. Now you have the skill set needed to be mapped.
3. Next, you have to categorize the skill levels like:
Eg: A - Excellent and can train others, B - has working knowledge, C - has only knowledge, D - Not aware.
Eg: A - Can team others to perform, B - Can perform solo, C - Can perform with help, D - Familiar with elements of the job, E - Cannot perform the task.
4. The skill matrix can be designed in an Excel sheet with skills in columns and the names of employees in the rows, or vice versa, according to your convenience.
5. Send this sheet to the department head to mark the skill level of the employees.
6. This skill matrix can be updated on a monthly basis or after training or as needed.
From the skill matrix, you can derive a list of employees:
1. Who need training in specific skill sets.
2. Who can perform the task.
3. Who needs improvement.
4. Has the employee improved after training, etc.
I have attached an example sheet that you can create in a Word document as you need.
