Skill management with GFOS - making qualifications visible

With our skill management system, you can manage all of your employees' qualifications in a central skills database. This is where the information about skills and competencies flows together so that you and your company can effectively track, develop and optimize these skills. Generate up-to-date overviews directly via the competence management software. This means you always know which skills already exist in the company and which are still missing. You can also see which skills your employees specified at the time of recruitment so that you can evaluate and use them during their employment if necessary.

Competence management software - manage and monitor qualifications digitally

Use a central platform to record all employee qualifications and keep an eye on them in the long term. For qualifications that are only valid for a certain period of time, you can see immediately when they expire. If desired, the skill management system can automatically notify the people concerned when the expiry date of the qualification stored in the system is approaching.

As part of your qualification planning, you define periods in which employees should attend relevant trainings in order to maintain their existing qualifications or acquire new ones in a timely manner. Our competence management software can be used to assign any number of trainings or plan assignments that are relevant to this qualification.

Qualification chains can also be defined within the system for the long-term development of the workforce. This allows you to assign predecessor and successor qualifications to your skilled employees in a clearly sequential order, depending on their level of training. The planning and evaluation of training measures for successor qualifications is just as intuitive in the skill management system as the complete overview of all qualifications.

Store training measures in the skill management system

With the skill management system from GFOS, all information on the qualifications of your workforce comes together in one place. In addition to general information on skills, documents such as acquired certificates can also be stored in the software and centrally linked to the respective employees.

This also offers enormous advantages for employee scheduling: Using the data from the competence management software, employees can be automatically considered for tasks for which they are qualified according to the system. This reduces potential errors and inefficiencies, simplifies scheduling and also relieves the burden on those responsible for planning.

Our software provides you with a wide range of evaluations to show you whether the company's internal need for skilled employees can be covered by its own talent pool or whether further measures may be required. Some possible evaluations:

Overview of qualifications/qualification levels in the workforce
Overview of employees including individual qualifications
Evaluation of the skills pool according to target/actual criteria
Overview of qualifications: Criteria/replacement qualifications/additional qualifications
