Skills in Action: Transforming How We Hire, Pay, and Grow Talent

Most organizations resort to time as a proxy for experience—time in the job, time in the company, time in the field.  But you know that people develop at different rates, so time isn’t a very good measure of experience!  But what is the alternative to time?  Education? Performance?

We know intuitively that people with more experience are capable of delivering more in their jobs, and are more valuable to their organization.  But it’s really hard to measure experience without an objective framework. Many organizations struggle to accurately measure employee knowledge and experience to make fair, data-driven decisions across critical HR areas. These measures drive key decisions across all areas of HR, including recruitment, compensation, development, and more.

In this episode, we will introduce our job-based framework for measuring employee knowledge and experience—Community™ Skills.  The framework provides a powerful standard that organizations can use to shift to a data-driven approach to workforce management that is transparent and fair.
