Know your organisation’s skills inside out
Understand your people and their capabilities with a competence management tool that helps you assess, manage and report on skills across the organisation.
From skills management to organisational insight
Skills, Sympa’s competence management tool, allows HR, employees and managers assess skills in a structured way. At the same time, Skills Reporting brings those assessments together into a clear overview of strengths and gaps across the organisation.
- Define and assess skills: Create skill sets and assess them on a shared 1–5 scale.
- Gain org-wide visibility: See up-to-date skills across teams, roles and departments.
- Identify gaps: Spot critical skill gaps to plan hiring and development before they slow progress.
- Create reports: Support training, hiring and workforce planning with data-driven insights.
Skills reporting for everyday HR issues
Some skills questions need more than individual assessments. Skills reporting brings competence data together across teams, roles and departments, giving HR and leaders a clearer view of capabilities, risk and development needs. Create a solid basis for your planning and decision-making.
Compare current skill levels and target levels across teams to understand whether gaps can be closed through development or require new hires.
Understand which skills are already available internally and where development or hiring is needed before the team launches.
See where critical skills are missing or unevenly distributed across teams and plan development or hiring accordingly.
See where required competencies are covered across sites and shifts, and identify gaps before they affect operations.
Use Skills to define and assess competences across roles, along with Sympa's Pay Transparency tool to analyse salary data and identify unexplained gaps.

"We are constantly striving to streamline our processes and wanted to be able to add new functions quickly and easily. That’s why Sympa is such a good match for us – once we’ve identified a need, we can make the necessary changes ourselves, or get help from Sympa if we need to."

"I’ll say this: we cannot live without our HR system. It’s the foundation for all other development. Having an agile and easily adaptable HR solution, that can work across multiple countries and be flexible enough to reflect new ways of working, has been essential."

"Our industry sees a large number of business transfers and consequently a high staff turnover. This means that our managers spend a lot of their time on drafting, signing and sending out contracts and documents. This is why we needed a flexible HR system that fits our business model."
