Skill revocation

1. What is a revocation?

A revocation in AG5 is the ability to withdraw a skill of an employee for a period of time or permanently.

2. What is the purpose of the revocation?

It provides a more accurate view of the skills of employees because registering skills explicitly as 'revoked' is more correct than e.g. deleting them or setting them to 'failed'. Because when you would delete this skill, the arising skill-gap could be solved by planning a new training (as you normally do for missing skills). But when it is revoked, something special is going on, and this should not be neglected.

For example:

An employee can’t perform a specific skill (driving a forklift) anymore due to physical limitations (i.e. broken leg). Then the manager can revoke that specific skill for a certain time. During this period the skill will be invalid (/seen as not achieved). And when the revocation ends or is deleted then the skill will be become valid again.

Example reasons:

• Temporarily use of medicine

• Regulatory reasons (fines)

• Too many incidents

• Physical limitations

• Pregnancy

3. How can you revoke a skill?

You can revoke a skill of an employee via the matrix page, employee portfolio page, and employee list page.
