Digital Skills Checklists

Implement Digital Skills Tracking for Frontline Workers

Replace manual skills records and siloed spreadsheets with streamlined digital skills checklists. A real-time skills validation dashboard and skills matrix help you track and monitor individual and team readiness, saving time and money.

Manual Tracking, Spreadsheet Chaos, Inaccurate Data, & Delays

Patchwork tracking methods, handwritten assessments, limited visibility into workforce skills, and hidden competency gaps are roadblocks to workforce readiness. Common challenges for skills-based organizations include:

Scattered Skills Data

With skills data in various locations—paper files, PDFs, spreadsheets, and learning management system (LMS)—determining the skills of an individual or team can take hours instead of seconds.

Inaccuracies and Delays

Data entry errors are likely to occur in the absence of digital skills tracking, especially if an assessor’s handwriting is hard to read. Manual entry and handoffs slow assessments—sometimes for weeks—delaying progress and urgent staffing decisions.

Paper-Based Processes

Assessors can benefit from a printed list of skills to target, but these lists get outdated quickly. Organizations lose the ability to control and identify who the assessor is for each worker, and time is lost entering data afterward.

Inability to Close Gaps Quickly

Without the tools to replace manual competency checklists or track and manage employee skills digitally, organizations can’t easily identify or close role-critical gaps.
