Retain Skills

14 Dec 2016

Retain Skills is a powerful tool that allows for the integrated management of resource skills via a user-friendly and configurable skills matrix. Retain Skills also enables you to upload documents such as CVs and executive summaries, resulting in a fast and effective way to find the most appropriate resource for your projects.

With Retain Skills you can:

• Find the most suitable person for the job based on skills, preferences and CVs - improving overall efficiency and staff satisfaction
• Allow employees to manage their own skills and specify development needs, through a self-service interface
• Organise training depending on your employee/ business requirements and aspirations by categorising skills into 'Achieved' and 'Wanted'

Skills Matrix
Retain Skills is built on two levels; the first allows your organisation to create a matrix of attributes which an individual can update based upon achieved and desired skill levels:

Document Searching
The second aspect of the Skills tool is the ability to store documents against individuals. Various formats are catered for (Word, Excel, Acrobat (pdf), etc.) and once a document is uploaded, it can be searched for key words or expressions.

Executive summaries or CVs tend to be updated more often than a skills matrix, and enable you to keep track of softer skills.
