3 Key Stages to Performing a Skills Audit
- Determine Skills Requirements
In order to determine skills requirements, an organization should identify current and future skills requirements per job. The end result is a skills matrix with related competency definitions. Definitions can be allocated against various proficiency levels per job, such as basic, intermediate and complex. - Audit Actual Skills
The actual skills audit process is outlined above and involves an individual self-audit and skills audit. Results are collated into reporting documents that may include statistical graphs, qualitative reports and recommendations. - Determine Development Needs and Plan for Training or Restructuring
Once skills audit information has been collected, an analysis of the results may be used for planning purposes relating to training and development and other Human Resource interventions. Recommendations are then discussed and agreed actions are implemented.
