Frequently Asked Skills Inventory Questions
What is a skills inventory?
In its most basic form, a skills inventory — also called, a skills library, a skills catalog, skills ontology or skills taxonomy, is a centralized and structured database of skills data, and qualifications that helps to create a unified understanding of skills within an organization. Employees can then be assessed on these skills, and then individually or holistically reported on to find and act on skills gaps. Read more about getting started with your skills inventory.
How do I find skill gaps from my list of skills?
Your skills inventory is the underlying structured data of skills within your organization. In order to find your employee, team and organization skills gaps, you need to assess their skill levels, and then report on those skills to determine what’s next. Don’t worry we have you covered with our skills assessment, and skills matrix tools.
How does a skill inventory work in human resource planning?
A skills inventory is a critical tool for any human resource planning requirements and provides an objective data source for key HR decisions. When your skills are in a digital form, you can easily measure employee skill, knowledge and interest levels and then use that data to support human resource planning decisions. Such as:

- Training and Learning and Development
