What is skill mapping?
Skill mapping is a method to systematically record which competencies are present in a team or organization and where there are still gaps. This enables targeted employee development, optimized deployment planning and strategic personnel development.
With the free tool from Evalea, every organization can now easily carry out skill mapping and thus gain valuable insights into its own competence structures. This is not about comprehensive competence management or long-term talent development strategies, but about a quick and easy analysis of the current skills in the team.
Why skill mapping is so important
Whether it’s a start-up, a large corporation, an NGO or a sports club – every organisation needs a targeted strategy to make the best possible use of its members. Skill mapping helps to:
- Use strengths in a targeted manner: When it’s clear who has which skills, teams can work together more effectively.
- Identify development potential: Where are the skills gaps? Who needs training or further education?
- Create transparency and clarity: Team members can see what skills are needed and where they can improve.
- Make efficient personnel decisions: Skill mapping provides a sound basis for recruiting and further training measures.

For whom is the skill mapping tool useful?
Evalea’s free tool is versatile and suitable for a wide range of organizations, for example:
- Companies: HR departments can analyze skills in teams and derive targeted training measures.
- Start-ups: Young companies quickly get an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of their team.
- Consulting: Consultants can carry out skill mappings at customers and derive recommendations for action.
- Sports clubs: Coaches can analyze which tactical or physical skills should be strengthened in the team.

How does the skill mapping tool differ from Evalea’s competency management module?
While the skill mapping tool offers a quick and uncomplicated way to record the current competencies of a team, the competence management module from Evalea much further. It not only enables a more comprehensive analysis and management of skills, but also the long-term development of employees.
The competence management module offers, among other things:
- Detailed competency profiles for employees, including target/actual comparisons.
- Individual development plans to work specifically on skills gaps.
- Link to other HR processes, such as target agreements or employee appraisals.
- Automated reports and analyses to make long-term developments and trends visible.
While the free skill mapping tool primarily provides a snapshot of existing skills, the competence management module serves as a strategic tool for sustainable personnel development and talent development.
