SKILLS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AS A TOOL FOR STRATEGIC WORKFORCE PLANNING

Finding and retaining the right talent is an important issue for organizations worldwide. The definition of what is the right talent for the organization should be created first to make sure we recruit the right people and then what is next when the right talent has been recruited? Skills Management Systems try to answer the questions by providing skills library and inventory for the organizations, thus the gap analysis between the available skills and missing skills for the organization can be produced. This analysis accompanied with the prediction of skills demands in the future is a good base to develop a hiring policy and also development plans for the current employees.
