Concept: Skill Assessments

You can use the Assess Skills
business process to conduct structured skill assessments for workers. Skill assessments can help you better understand your workforce and facilitate better career growth conversations between workers and managers.

Using a 1-5 proficiency scale, you can rate job profile skills, worker profile skills, and other skills for workers.

Use Cases

You can enable:

Assessors to rate skills for individual workers.

Administrators to initiate skill assessments for up to 50,000 workers at once using the

Launch Assess Skills for Worker

Mass Operation Type on the

Mass Operation Management

task. Workday recommends that you run the mass operation on desktop rather than mobile.

Workers to self-assess their own skills.

Administrators to include skill assessment ratings in skill level calculations.

Requirements

To use the Assess Skills
business process, you must set up:

Skills Cloud. See Steps: Set Up Skills Cloud.

The Assess Skills
business process definition using the

Limitations

The Assess Skills
business process doesn't support crowdsourced skills.

Mass operation skill assessments don’t process workers with:

In-progress skill assessments, including when you launch multiple skill assessment operations at the same time that include the same worker.

More than 100 skills selected to assess.

No skills selected to assess.
