How Resource Recovery & Sorting works in SkillScorer
Score
Each operator in a site is scored on the Resource Recovery & Sorting skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank operators, compare two side by side, or compare your sites 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 Resource Recovery & Sorting skills need attention. Reports also follow each supervisor's site.
