ESM is built around a novel Skills Library and Profiling engine which is a library of over one lakh skills and a highly flexible and inuititve front end for profiling of skills.

Enterprise Skills Management operates on two premises. One, that skills related data if mapped and measured well, will turn out to be resource that can be powerfully and efficiently managed for superior business results. Two, skills information used across different systems in a seemless and integrated manner, will lead to far effective employee engagement, reduction in wastage and organization preparedness for the future.

ESM is a knowledge system driven by knowledge on the skills landscape and deploys technology to bring to companies a powerful yet simple application.

Skills profiling and inventory ► Map skills of employees holistically covering both functional/

technical skills and behavioral/cognitive skills for employees across functions and levels

► Skills validation – you can validate proficiencies in skills of employees in a manner that you decide. You can capture validated information at the time of recruitment, you can have manager (and manager’s manager if necessary) validate employee skills proficiencies and you can have peer reviews too

► The powerful and flexible reporting on skills helps you get in a jiffy skills information at organization level or unit level or employee level. You can query for skills to find where the skills you need are in the organization with ease.



Skills based recruitmentCreation of job descriptions, ensuring recruiters understand requirements well, and ensuring right candidates are pursued – these are significant issues in recruitment in most organizations. Even worse is the problem that vital information on skills are left uncaptured for analysis and for future purposes in other systems.

ESM solves these problems by offer-ing these features:

► Use SLP as a standard and simple manner for creating job descriptions. Hiring managers can clearly articulate the skills required in a holistic, comprehensive and precise manner and in just 5 minutes.

► The same data-centric job profile is shared with recruiters (inside and outside organizations) and even candidates or applicants. This ensure everyone in the process is crystal clear on the skills needed by the Hiring Manager

► Skills and proficiencies in skills are captured in the same form as that of the position profile, right from the time applicants apply (in fact we can do away with unstructured resumes), recruiters screen and interviewers interview.

► Data on skills in one place from different sources, along with powerful reports form useful tools for analysis and superior decision making



Skills based resource deploymentMismatch between person and the job assigned, lack of visibility in skills between positions and individuals lead to on one end, poor employee engagement and on the other end, lower productivity and results on the job.

With the resource deployment module your are empowered.

► Identify clearly employees who fit closest to positions by comparing skills for the position and skills of individuals.

► Avoid unnecessary hires. Get a clear visibility of resources that are already available in the company and ensure they are effectively deplored

► Products and services are becoming complex and competitive. You need diverse skills for assignment and you also need to respond quickly when business opportunities arise. Enable both these with skills data in ESM

Empowerment of HR and There is one real problem because of which they are unable to contribute the way business expects them to. And that is lack of data on functional/technical skills. Again there are two issues here. One, their lack of good understanding on these skills and line cares or worries on these more than any. Two, no proper system to capture, analyse and use datafied skills.

ESM empowers HR is this respect. It surely will take HR to a real important contributing to business in true sense role. It has the power to transform HR to a role of custodian of skills, the same way as Finance is custodian of money of the company.
