Define Aggregate Gap Analysis

Explanation

This activity is used to register and define the comparison criteria for the analysis that want to perform. The analysis runs by comparing the competencies and the certificates of a person to whatever is defining as a required qualification level. For example, suppose it is required to compare employee qualifications with their current primary job requirements.

In that case, from the Compare with list, select Employee Current Primary Job.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites, but for analysis to give meaningful results, it needs a job structure with competency and certificate with required levels for each job in the company.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, an aggregate gap analysis will register in the system. If employees exist in the Data Source according to the selection criteria, results will be generated.

Procedure

  1. Open the Aggregate Gap Analysis page and use the New Analysis assistant.
  2. New Analysis – Step 1 Create Aggregate Gap Analysis
    In the Analysis Name field, enter the name for the analysis. Then define the details for the analysis.
    You can select from the Compare with list as you want to compare the competencies and certificates of employees who will be analyzed. Comparison will do as given below.
    Employee Current Primary Job - compare qualifications required by their current primary jobs.
    Employee All Current Jobs - to analyze all current jobs.
    Employee All Current and Future Jobs – to analyze requirements in current and future jobs.
    You can select, Specific Job, or Qualification Profile, or Specific Person, or Specific Employee if you want to compare selected employees with one of these. Based on the selection, Job ID, Person ID, Qualification Profile ID, or Employee ID needs to be entered.

    Click Core Competencies and Certificates Only toggle if you want only to analyze competencies and certificates defined as Core for a specific job.
    Click Use Gap Tolerance toggle if you want the analysis to consider gap tolerance. If selected, gaps will be calculated with allowed tolerance and will not show that a person has a gap, even if they do, if only the gap falls within a predefined tolerable limit.
    Click Primary Organization Assignments Only toggle if you want to filter based on primary assignments only.

    Note:
    when select employees based on both primary and non-primary assignments, in Data Source, there will be records with all valid assignments for the employee, but results will be shown only based on one assignment. If an employee is selected based on Primary assignment, then primary position and organization details will be shown in the results. If an employee is selected based on a Non-Primary assignment, this will be shown in the results. If employee records exists from both Primary and Non-Primary assignments, then Primary assignment details will be shown in the result.
  3. Then click Next and go to Step 2 - Data Selection Criteria
    Enter required selections to filter the employees. In one filter (as an example Organization), you can enter more than one selection. Any employee who matches with any of the selections will be selected. However, between two filters, employee needs to be matched at least one choice in both filters.
    To select all employees in a company, enter only company ID, leave the filed Organization blank
    and select the Include Lower Organization Units toggle.

    Note: This is an optional step. Therefore, can be skipped this step without entering any filters, but employees will not be selected in this scenario.

    Employees can also be added to the data source manually after creating the analysis
  4. Then click Finish and finis the New Analysis assistance. Then, the Data Source will update with employees according to the selections in Step 2. And results will be generated according to the definitions in Step 1.
