Skills are essential competencies that your employees possess and utilize in various aspects of their daily work. A skill can represent knowledge specific to the role or the job they're performing at work, such as language skills (e.g. Spanish, Chinese, etc.), equipment skills (Forklift, Jackhammer, etc.) , or specialized proficiency or certification (e.g. IRATA level II, Certified Nursing Assistant) and others.

You can leverage Skills to ensure that specific qualifications required for the shift are matched with relevant employees.
