What is a Skill?

A skill is an ability you can acquire through training, practice, or experience. Skills consist of learning activities that help employees reach the required skill level.

With Smart Skills, you can create skills and assign them to teams or job titles via a skill profile. Managers will be able to assess employees' skill levels based on the skills selected in the skill profile.

🔄 Setting the Assessment Frequency

For each skill, you can set an assessment frequency. This determines how often a manager should re-assess the skill to ensure employees remain proficient.
​

🏷️ Adding Tags

Adding tags to your skills can make it easier to find the skills you're looking for in the platform. You can filter on tags when adding skills to a skill profile or searching for skills in the skills list. You can add up to 10 tags for each skill.
