How to Validate Employee Skills in Bridge: A Manager’s Guide

Access to this feature requires Bridge Talent Suite, please speak to your Bridge Admin.

As a manager, you play a key role in driving employee development and career growth.

In Bridge, you can validate your direct reports' skills and assign proficiency levels, helping you visualize their capabilities and direct their development.

Take a self-guided walkthrough or read our guide below to learn how.

1. Navigate to Skill Validation 

Navigate to Team and select Skills in the primary navigation. Then select the Skill Validation tab.

2. Choose a Learner

At the top of the page, you'll see a list of your team members. Use the arrow to cycle through them, and click on a profile icon to assess their skills.

3. Review Learners’ Skills

In the table, you'll see a list of skills your direct report has added to their profile. 

As a manager, you can have the power to add additional skills to a learner's profile using the free-text search box. You can also remove a skill by clicking the X to the right-hand side of the text.

4. Validate Proficiency Levels

The table also displays your direct report’s proficiency in each skill based on their own assessment. You’ll see a green check mark under the level they feel is most accurate.

Review the selected skill and proficiency levels. Click the check mark to validate the current selection if you agree. Alternatively, click the grey circle that matches your direct report’s demonstrated proficiency for the selected skill.

Tip: At the top of the page, you’ll find a link to ‘View Skill Proficiency Level Descriptions.’ There, you’ll find detailed descriptions for each proficiency level, helping to guide your decision.

5. Complete Your Skill Validation

After confirming a proficiency level, the check mark becomes solid green. Once validated, this will be visible in their public Bridge profile.

Click Complete Skill Validation to finish. 

You can update a direct report's proficiency level at any time based on their demonstrated capabilities and growth. Remember to click Complete Skill Validation to save your updates.
