1 Aware · 2 Working · 3 Skilled · 4 Expert, can teach others
Good to know
Four simple levels
Aware, working, skilled and expert. Simple levels make ratings consistent across managers.
Rate with evidence
Ask for an example for each rating: a task done, a certificate or a result. It keeps the talk fair.
Train the biggest gaps first
A gap of two levels or more on a core skill is where training pays back fastest.
Repeat every six months
Skills move. A short review twice a year keeps the matrix useful for hiring and promotions.
Close skill gaps for your whole team
USR LMS assigns training for each gap and tracks completion, and USR Hire uses the same skills to screen new candidates.
