Zapoint launches interactive skill-analysis tool

Zapoint has added an organizational skills mapping and career-management tool to its Enterprise talent-management suite. The Brookline, Mass.-based provider of Web-based human-capital-management software announced the release of SkillsMapper this month, and said it will increase employee engagement, better align the work force with corporate strategy, and identify potential skills gaps in an organization.

By leveraging Zapoint’s LifeChart technology, SkillsMapper gives enterprises the ability to benchmark skills by employee, department, and across the company. It offers employees a way to track their own skills in conjunction with others in the organization; for managers, SkillsMapper enables comparison of individual and group skills, measurement of competencies against corporate objectives, and the establishment of a skills inventory that can be drawn upon when needed.
