What skills data can managers see for their team?

Managers see proficiency grades, skill gaps, assessment scores, certification status, learning plan progress, and training completion — all scoped to their direct reports by default, with the option to expand to their full org hierarchy.

Do managers need a separate analytics tool?

No. All analytics are built into SkillsDB. Managers see charts, stats, scorecards, and exportable reports directly in their team views. No BI tool, no analyst, no separate login.

What chart types are available?

SkillsDB includes radar/nightingale charts for proficiency mapping, bar charts for skill ranking, stacked bars for gap/variance breakdowns, and a full skills matrix heatmap. Each visualization is filterable by role, department, and performance level.

Can managers export team data?

Yes. Team skills, certifications, training activity, and skills matrix data all export to Excel. Active filters and column selections carry through to the export file.

How does the skills matrix work for managers?

The skills matrix shows people on one axis and skills on the other — with color-coded proficiency grades in each cell. Managers can overlay radar or bar charts, filter by performance level or department, and drill into any person-skill combination for detail.

What do managers see after an assessment closes?

A scorecard showing every assessed skill — with the employee’s self-grade, the manager’s grade, and the role benchmark side by side. Skills below benchmark are highlighted. Focus-flagged skills surface first. Upskilling resources are linked directly from the scorecard.

Can managers see historical data and trends?

Managers can view previous career assignments and archived roles for each team member, preserving skill history even when people change roles. Assessment history is retained for comparison across review cycles.

What research supports giving managers direct access to skills data?

<a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/focus/human-capital-trends.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deloitte's 2024 Global Human Capital Trends</a> found that organizations using connected workforce data systems are significantly more likely to outperform peers on talent outcomes. The gap between "we have data" and "managers use data" is where most skills programs stall — manager analytics puts actionable intelligence directly in the hands of people making daily development decisions.

Manager Analytics

Decision-ready data. Every manager.

Skills analytics built for the people who actually manage teams — not analysts, not BI specialists, not HR ops.

Most organizations collect skills data. Very few put it in the hands of the people who need it most — the managers making daily decisions about staffing, development, and team capability.

The data exists somewhere. A report gets generated quarterly. Someone in HR summarizes it into a slide deck. By the time a manager sees it, it’s already stale and missing the context they need to act.

Live team analytics. No tickets required.

SkillsDB puts skills analytics directly in front of managers — live, filterable, and specific to their team. No tickets to a data team. No waiting for quarterly reports. Managers see proficiency gaps, assessment results, certification status, and development progress for every direct report, updated the moment anything changes.
