INTRODUCTION

1.1. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Skills management is the practice of understanding developing and deploying people and their skills Cascio (1992). A well implemented skills management should identify the skills that job roles require, the skills of individual employees and, any gap between the two contents. The skills involved can be described by the organization concerned or institution. They are usually defined in terms of a skills framework, a competency framework or skills matrix. This consists of a list of skills and a grading system with a definition of what it means to be at particular given skill. To be most useful, skills management needs to be conducted a san ongoing process, with individuals assessing and updating their record skill sets regularly Smilansky (2005). These updates should occur at least as frequently as employee regular lines manager reviews and certainly when their skill sets have charged. Skills management systems record the result of this process in analysis of the data.
