What is this page about?
Soft Skills and Hard Skills, are part of a recognition dynamic where peers choose someone in their organization to assign a feedback.
Users can endorse a peer on one ore more Soft Skills and Hard Skills.
Soft Skills are created by the Admin in BackOffice, while the Hard Skills are created by the user himself. Your peers can then recognise you by using the Hard Skills that you create for yourself.
What can I do in the Soft Skills section?
On this BackOffice page you can create, delete and edit "Soft Skills". You can create an unlimited number of skills.
For each skill you must create a name and associate an image. The images associated to the skill can have a size of 250x250px (this size is not rigid) and will look better with a transparent background.
Recognition Settings Overview
The maximum number of Soft Skills Endorsements each user can make can be set in the settings menu.
In addition, it can also be set that only managers can do these endorsements.
Furthermore, you can set the options to allow private reviews. This type of review will only be visible to the user and the manager.
Remember that collecting data from community interactions about Soft Skills endorsements allows us to build a comprehensive map of both formal and informal skills across the organization. This also helps us discover hidden talents.
Hard Skills
Empowering each user to define their unique Hard Skills introduces complexity in managing the diverse skill set on the platform. To simplify this challenge and assist administrators in guiding users effectively, we've implemented the option to rename and delete Hard Skills through the BackOffice. Additionally, by selecting two skills, we offer a robust skill-merging tool, a powerful solution to alleviate instances of multiple identical skills.
Furthermore, we can track the number of users who have selected a specific Hard Skill and monitor the endorsements received for that particular skill.
Clicking on the number of users with the Hard Skill allows us to identify those who have included it in their recognition profile. This feature enhances the overall management and understanding of users' skills within the platform.
By clicking on the endorsement number of each skill, we will be able to view in detail who recognizes whom, along with the exact date. This information can be filtered and exported if necessary.
The Recognition Dashboard
In the Recognition Dashboard you can have an overview of the Star Badges and Soft Skills attributed as well as the number of users endorsed with Hard Skills.
You will also be able to export reports regarding each endorsement option (Stars, Soft skills or Hard Skills).
What about the Frontend? What will my users see?
We provide this brief video on how users can recognize their peers:
How can a user create a new Hard Skill in FrontEnd?
By navigating to the "Me" page in the recognition module, users will be able to scroll down to the Hard Skills section.
Here, by pressing the "Add Skills" button, they will be able to set new skills to be recognized. They will be presented with a variety of hard skills already created and have the possibility to create a new one.
The user can also remove Hard Skills in their own recognition page.
