Adding and Managing Skills - Employee

Aug 05, 2025

The Skills module under the My Home section enables employees to maintain a structured record of their professional skills. This not only helps you build a complete profile but also allows your manager or organization to understand your capabilities for better task alignment and career development.

Employees can:

  • Add skills
  • Define their proficiency level
  • (If enabled) Enter their hands-on experience in years and months

Steps to Add a Skill and Experience

  1. Login to HRStop using your employee credentials.
  2. Go to My Home > Skills from the left-hand menu.
  3. In the empty row:
    • Enter the Skill Name
    • Select your Proficiency Rating
    • (If enabled) Enter your Experience (Years and Months)
  4. Click Save to add the skill.

Based on your organization’s configuration:

  • Skills will reflect as Approved instantly if Self-Approval is enabled.
  • Skills will show as Pending until reviewed by your manager if Approval-Based is configured.

Managing Existing Skills

  • Edit an Existing Skill:
    You can update the rating or experience for any skill at any time. Each update is tracked in the system and recorded in your skill history log for transparency and audit purposes.
  • Delete a Skill:
    You can delete a skill only if it is still in Pending status (i.e. not yet approved). Approved skills cannot be removed by employees.

Skill History Log

HRStop maintains a complete log of every update made to a skill, including who made the change, what was changed, and when it was done.

To view the skill log:

  • Click the clock icon next to the skill’s status (Approved/Pending).
  • A pop-up will display the entire history of that skill, including:
    • Date of each update or approval
    • Changes in rating or experience
    • Name of the person who made or approved the update

This ensures complete transparency in how your skills evolve over time.
