Concept: Skills in People Analytics

Skills Cloud is a machine-learning-powered remote collection of skills for workers and candidates to select from. You can use Skills Cloud to build qualification requirements and easily track worker capabilities.

Workday brings the power of Skills Cloud to People Analytics through a new Skills topic. With People Analytics and Skills Cloud, you can better understand what skills your workforce has with visualizations of top skill categories for management levels and job families. The Skills topic in People Analytics also helps you identify your workforce’s largest skill gaps and helps you prioritize the best opportunities to upskill workers, with the introduction of a worker Gap Score and Match Score.

The Gap Score is 1 minus the Match Score for a worker. Match Score is a calculation that compares a worker's current portfolio of explicit and inferred skills to the skills (explicit and inferred) listed on their job profile. Workday calculates the skill gaps and subtracts the total from 1 to assign each worker a score on a scale of 0 - 1. Lower match scores indicate opportunities for workers to invest in achieving the expected skills of their role. High match scores indicate that the workers have the expected skills of their role. Match Score utilizes Skills Cloud skills and not tenanted skills.

Workday also assigns each worker a Match Score Signal to indicate where on the Match Score Scale a worker falls.
