Your skills

Your skills profile lists what you can do and how well. It helps your manager and HR find the right person for a piece of work, and shows where you might want to grow.

Who can record their own skills: every member, for themselves.

Open the menu and select Work → Skills. If you manage people, your own skills are on the My skills tab.

To change a skill, select Edit beside it. To take it off your profile, select Remove.

Validation

Section titled “Validation”

The level you give yourself is your own view. Your manager, or HR, can validate it: they agree with your level, or set a different one. Once validated, their level is the one that counts.

  • Nobody can validate their own skills.
  • If you change the level of a validated skill, the validation is cleared and it needs validating again. Cadre warns you before you save.

Gaps against your role

Section titled “Gaps against your role”

Your role may require some skills at a certain level. Gaps against my role compares what your role requires with your level: the validated level, or your own level until it is validated.
