Account administrators have the ability to create, edit, and delete skills and skill groups. You can access the 'Manage Skills' section either from the 'Develop' home page or within your account settings. The overall purpose of this feature is to allow administrators to customize the development planning template that employees use.

These skills are displayed when employees select their strengths and growth areas within the development planning workflow and are incorporated into the aggregate reporting dashboard when selected. Newly created skills will not affect existing development plans - they will only impact employees who create a new plan after your changes have been implemented.

If you prefer not to customize the Core Skills, you can use the default options provided by our People Science team.

In Q4 2023, Culture Amp will transition from skill-based development planning to competency-based development planning. This means that when employees create a development plan, they will be able to select competencies from Career Paths as strengths and growth areas, instead of skills.

This will be a gradual transition implemented in five stages. Once complete, the customized skills section of the Culture Amp platform will be deprecated.
