How Strategy & Planning works in SkillScorer
Score
Each employee in a department is scored on the Strategy & Planning skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank employees, compare two side by side, or compare your departments against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Strategy & Planning skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's department.
