For companies that want to invest in their people and help them achieve success, Skillpanel is a gold mine. From an HR perspective, this tool can support multiple departments, such as L&D and workforce planning, by providing data to work with. Skillpanel really helps shift HR from a generic, or even vague, approach to a clear and consistent skills-based approach. Additionally, Skillpanel can also be used for employer branding. We live in times when candidates are increasingly interested not only in cash compensation, but in the total package. Having a tool that helps employees or potential employees understand where they are now, what they still need to reach their goals, and the clear steps to get there is truly valuable.

SkillPanel allows companies to own their growth. The easy to use style allows management to quantify, support and track development within a company. It also gives rich data for review and in a manner that allows managers to use it for strategic purposes.

What I appreciate most about SkillPanel is the strong level of engagement it creates around defining and maintaining organisational skills. It promotes broad participation in building a shared skills framework, while also providing a clear, comprehensive view of the skills that already exist across the organisation through its wide range of features. Even with this breadth of functionality, the system remains intuitive and easy to use for both HR teams and managers. Implementation and integration with existing HR systems also feel relatively straightforward, which helps the platform fit naturally into current workflows rather than operating in isolation. Customer support has been responsive and helpful as well, especially during setup and the early stages of use, making adoption smoother. Overall, SkillPanel improves organisational readiness for succession planning by making talent and skill information more accessible and actionable, and by supporting more informed workforce and talent decisions.
