3 steps towards better human capital management
- 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. - 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. - 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.
How UNILIN used the Competence Matrix to build balanced teams
Before the Competency Matrix, leading flooring company UNILIN used multiple Excel spreadsheets to keep track of employee competencies. By creating a single overview, managers and HR can distribute these competencies better throughout the company and schedule training for individual employees that helps them achieve professional growth.
