Simple user interface for admins and users. The built in LMS allows admins to easily upload content and training materials, assign tasks, and record all activity and supporting documentation that can be easily retrieved when facing an audit or inspection. The calendar and notification system automates the expiration and renewal of our employees' critical certifications, namely OSHA. The gap analysis tool easily calls out what competencies are yet to be accomplished, and the risk tool allows us to mitigate our internal risk by assigning a custom risk value to each competency. Allows competency to be determined through various completion methods i.e. user and manager sign-offs, witnessing, online training, document upload, and attendance. I especially like the witnessing sign off option which facilitates our Performance based training needs. The onboarding feature allows you to quickly add new employees, or transition existing employees to a new role, individually, through an API or .csv upload. You can then easily assign them to their corresponding organizations, teams and roles from the same screen, which ensures they will get the training they need to be proficient fast in their new role. Flexible framework which allows us to work with CABEM to customize the tool for our uniqure needs. > > Improved Efficiency. Increased Quality. Lowered Costs. Simplifies the employee management process. Got rid of our excel spreadsheet nightmare\! So far there are very few cons. Anytime I have encountered an issue, which has been few and far between, CABEM's support team and in-house developers have been responsive, knowledgable and very helpful in determining the cause, providing a solution in a timely manner or providing training on how to properly use the software. ----- ### "Review of the CABEM Competency Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *15 March 2022* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The competency manager software is extremely user friendly and is easily navigated by the user groups with a minimal of training.

Third, to allow management the option of trading labor resources between the 28 facilities in the enterprise with a level of confidence that the employees have the ability to perform regardless of location. ----- ### "Easy to implement" — 4.0/5 > **Richard** | *3 May 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I'm working on the roll out of Competency Manager in our organisation.
