**Human capital is one of the most important assets of any organisation. Helping your employees grow and expand their professional competencies benefits not only them, but your company as well. To help organisations maintain a clear overview of all competencies and invest in the right training courses, Flexso created a SAP SuccessFactors learning extension: the Competency Matrix. Here’s how it works.**

## What is the Competency Matrix?

The Competence Matrix is a **SuccessFactors extension** built by Flexso. It enables managers to easily keep track of their employee’s competencies and plan the necessary training through an intuitive and interactive dashboard. The central database provides a **clear, at-a-glance overview of each team member’s competencies within the entire organisation**.

## 3 steps towards better human capital management

1. **Create a clear overview  
    Consolidate all the information within your organisation concerning employee competencies in a single, regularly updated database that all managers and HR personnel have access to. This way, you have an **accurate representation** of the existing – and missing – skills within your organisation and can act accordingly.
2. **Improve individual skills** Based on the competencies overview, you can decide which training courses are required and assign them to specific employees. This helps them **build new skills or improve existing ones**, ultimately empowering them to perform better in their jobs and keeping your employees happy and motivated.
3. **Build balanced teams** Thanks to the clear overview of competencies within your organisation, it becomes possible to create new teams or improve existing teams by matching members with complementary skillsets in a strategic way. This **increases the team’s productivity** and ultimately leads to **better service and happier customers.**
