Ways to improve your skills
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The Assessment page of a Career Hub profile now has a Ways to improve your skills widget in its sidebar. The widget picks up the skills that are and suggests courses, projects, or development plans for those skills. Clicking a recommendation card in the widget takes users directly to the corresponding course, project, or development plan, where they can review the details and enroll. Clicking Explore all recommendations opens the respective marketplace with those skills already filtered, or starts a skill-based development plan with the skills already added. Employees and managers can also choose which skills to focus on before they act. This release makes the widget generally available for the first time.
WHY IT MATTERS
Employees and managers who assess skills about once every 6 months can navigate directly to opportunities to close their skills gaps and don’t need to rebuild the gap list by hand when they create a development plan or explore the marketplace.
FEATURE DETAILS
Who can access | Employees on their own Assessment page, managers on a direct report's Assessment page, and HRBPs on an employee's Assessment page. |
Feature type | Default On |
Requirements | Skill assessment must be turned on, with the Assessment tab on the Career Hub profile. Role skills must be on, because the widget compares skills against the role benchmark. Each ‘explore’ action appears only for users who can access that marketplace, and only when the marketplace has a Skills search filter. The Create development plan button appears only for users who can access development plans. |
GETTING STARTED
Admins: None. Eightfold places the widget at the top of the Assessment tab sidebar for you by default. To change which actions each persona sees, see the configuration guide.
End users: Open a Career Hub profile, go to the Assessment page, and look for Ways to improve your skills on the right. For details, see Ways to improve your skills.
