Employee Skill Map in Frappe HR: Mapping & Evaluating Employee Skills
An Employee Skill Map lets you map an employee’s skills and rate their proficiency against what their role requires. It draws on the skills defined for their designation, so you can see at a glance where someone is strong and where there’s a gap to close.
You will find it under Home > Human Resources > Employee Lifecycle > Employee Skill Map.
BEFORE YOU START
Have the Employee set up, and ideally their Designation with its Required Skills defined, since those skills feed into the skill map.
How to create an Employee Skill Map
- Open the Employee Skill Map and click New.
- Select the Employee.
- The required skills from their designation are pulled into the skills table.
- Rate the employee’s proficiency on each skill.
- Save.
Seeing skill gaps
With the required skills listed and the employee’s proficiency rated against each, the skill map makes gaps easy to spot the skills where they fall short of what the role needs. That turns a vague sense of “they could develop a bit here” into a clear, specific list to act on through training or coaching.
How it connects to the rest of HR
The skill map ties into other parts of Frappe HR. The required skills come from the Designation, and the same skills underpin performance evaluation so an employee can be appraised against the skills their role actually demands. Mapping skills here feeds directly into fairer, more relevant appraisals.
TIP
Define solid Required Skills on each Designation first the skill map is only as useful as those skills are. With them in place, mapping each employee becomes quick, and the gaps you surface can flow straight into training plans and appraisal criteria.

SUMMARY
An Employee Skill Map maps an employee’s skills and rates their proficiency against the skills required for their designation. Create one by selecting the employee the designation’s required skills are pulled in and rating proficiency on each. The map makes skill gaps clear for targeted development, and because the skills tie back to the Designation and feed performance evaluation, it supports fairer appraisals. Well-defined required skills on each designation make the whole map far more useful.
