Lay the groundwork for skills-based decision making.
Skills Library is a skills taxonomy that is based on market data, curated by Mercer, and mapped to the Mercer Job Library. Knowing what skills your organization will focus on is the first step in using skills data to support your organization’s strategy.
Do you have the skills you need to succeed? Are you looking to understand your skills requirements and current bench strength? Create a skills adoption roadmap, align your organization to it, and identify and map the highest priority skills needed to succeed in the future. The Skills Library helps your organization in multiple ways, including building up skills on current roles that can lead to insights on employee career paths and reskilling opportunities.
How does Skills Library work?
- Skills Library maps over 4,000 unique skills to over 10,000 jobs in our Mercer Job Library.
- Raw skills data are obtained via large-scale data collection efforts that target millions of online job profiles/descriptions.
- The Skills Library enables you to quickly overlay a detailed, structured and fully curated skills taxonomy onto all of your jobs.
- Routinely updated throughout the year, we add new and emerging skills, modifying existing skills, and removing obsolete skills within the Skills Library.
What’s included?
The skills included in the Skills Library span a variety of traditional categories, such as competencies, qualifications, certifications, hard and soft skills, as well as regionally specific needs. By including all these under the skills umbrella, clients can define roles by the critical needs to succeed in the job.
Skills are structured in two Mercer Job Library arrangements that are orientated around type of work and organizational level: Job and Specialization plus Career Stream.
