Skills management: by the individual and for the individual

Talent SafeGuard gives your employees the tools to manage their own skills development.

Employees need to take ownership of how their skills are recorded, shared and developed in the forward-looking workplace. The future workforce requires reskilling and upskilling – and you need to empower talent to do this.

Talent SafeGuard helps you to do this.

Employee ownership. Employees choose which skills they want to develop based on their future career plans and which experience gained from outside their current role to share more widely.

HR leader oversight. More than this, Talent SafeGuard offers you, as the HR or talent leader, the ability to collate and track skill availability and training accreditation. This means it becomes an essential component in the creation of a future-ready and skills-oriented organisation – and a critical tool in talent retention.

Our skills management platform will enable you to:

  • Empower employees to take ownership of their skills management.
  • Demonstrate practically your commitment to future skills development.
  • Support your talent retention activity.
  • Collect and store skills, training and qualification information.
  • Alert managers to training needs.
  • Customise and configure the system to reflect your organisation – in look, language, workflow, job roles.
