Imagine this: Instead of relying solely on outdated r\u00e9sum\u00e9s or self-reported skills, your organization has access to live, evolving talent profiles that reflect each employee\u2019s true capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Betterworks’ newly released AI-assisted Talent Profiles, you can stop imagining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, employees across your organization are learning, honing, and displaying critical skills, whether on the job or by taking company training, third-party courses, or obtaining a new degree or certificate. They\u2019re setting ambitious goals, receiving feedback from peers, and tackling new challenges. But how often are those hidden gems\u2014the skills that make a real difference\u2014captured and put to good use, or developed to benefit your team or company goals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, we\u2019ve heard from managers and HR leaders, \u2018We know our employees are talented, but tracking those skills? That\u2019s a challenge.\u2019 This disconnect between performance data and skill recognition is exactly what we set out to solve with Betterworks Talent Profiles with skills inferencing using AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spark behind our refreshed Talent Profiles and AI skills inferencing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This journey started with a simple observation: Performance management data is the key to discovering untapped potential. Our product and design teams realized that performance reviews, peer feedback, goal tracking, and recognition all offer invaluable insights into an employee\u2019s skills\u2014insights that are often left on the table. What if we could capture and extract those insights and turn them into actionable data for managers and employees? With that inspiration, we built our AI skills inferencing tool, Skills Assist<\/strong>, which is designed to detect and validate skills based on real-world performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Betterworks skills-assisted Talent Profiles works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A key feature in Betterworks\u2019 enhanced Talent Profiles is the ability to surface skills by using AI. Analyzing real performance data from everyday activities \u2014 like your latest peer feedback or that ambitious goal you just crushed \u2014 we surface new skills for validation by the employee and their manager. But we don\u2019t just suggest a skill, and that\u2019s the critical difference. Proof of a skill is backed up with evidence like the actual quote from your co-worker saying you have mastered SEO optimization, handled a QA feedback process, or skillfully managed a recent project, and they are verified by the employee\u2019s manager. Once verified skills are added to an employee\u2019s profile, they offer a transparent, evidence-based view of each employee\u2019s potential, providing managers and HR teams with the insights needed to make informed decisions about development, promotions, and internal mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Betterworks Chief Operating Officer Andrea Lagan explained, “With this release, we\u2019re bridging the gap between performance management and skills development. It’s about giving employees credit for what they do best and providing managers with the tools to help them grow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of truly dynamic talent profiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why does this matter? Talent profiles shouldn\u2019t be static documentation based on outdated r\u00e9sum\u00e9s or skills that haven\u2019t been proven by independent observation. They should be living, breathing reflections of who your employees are, what they\u2019re capable of, and where they can go next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
