Mapping critical skills is a key step for any organization wishing to anticipate departures, secure its know-how and effectively manage its human resources. It consists in identifying, structuring and visualizing the skills that are essential to the smooth running of the business, in particular those that are rare, strategic or held by a limited number of people. <\/p>\n
The first phase consists of taking stock of all the skills present in the company. This can be done with the help of a job repository, or through individual interviews with employees. It is important to distinguish between technical skills (know-how), behavioral skills (interpersonal skills) and organizational skills (knowing how to act in a given context). <\/p>\n
Next, the company needs to define criteria for identifying critical skills. These are generally characterized by their scarcity, their direct link with performance or regulatory compliance, their required level of expertise, or their potential impact in the event of their disappearance. <\/p>\n
A cross-analysis of skills and the age pyramid enables us to identify areas of vulnerability: which skills are likely to disappear in the next 2 to 5 years? Who are the isolated bearers of sensitive skills? Where is there a lack of duplication or formal transmission? <\/p>\n
To visualize this data, it is useful to use dynamic mapping tools: matrices, cross-tabulations, infographics or integrated HR software. These tools facilitate arbitration, replacement planning, pairing and targeted training plans. <\/p>\n
Finally, mapping must be updated regularly. It thus becomes a strategic management tool, serving development, resilience and internal capitalization. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
