Provides a comprehensive view of the competency of our employees across our entire organization.

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.

Pros:

Simplifies the employee management process across multiple locations and allows us to assign trainings and competencies in a layered approach by organizations or locations, teams and roles. 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.

Review of the CABEM Competency Manager

The main value of the competency manager to the business is threefold. First to provide a growth path and supervisory oversight to an employees progress in his/her training. Second, to allow the correct people to be assigned to the right activity. 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.

Pros:

The competency manager software is extremely user friendly and is easily navigated by the user groups with a minimal of training. The UI is straightforward and the interfaces are clean and well laid out. The application speaks well to the needs of the business and the skills that are needed to be tracked.

Cons:

I can think of no specific "Con" to relate within the software.

Reasons for switching to Competency Manager

The business required a much more intensive application to manage the tracking and management of the skillsets of the employees. The legacy system was not nearly as automated and friendly as the Competency Manager.

The software is powerful but also easy to use. It is flexible and has multiple completion methods and ways of completing the training assessments and proving competency. It includes features such as gap analysis, risk mitigation reporting, and also comes with a credentialing module so we can upload any certifications and required credentials in a centralized location. The company has a fast and responsive support team and answers any questions that I have on using the software in a timely manner.

Cons:

The software takes some time to initially set up, but CABEM’s support team was very helpful and worked closely with me to get up and running!
