AG5, a provider of skills management and compliance software, has expanded its platform to include full competency management capabilities. This development helps organizations bridge the gap between workforce skills and operational needs. The update extends AG5's core skills matrix software into a more comprehensive solution that enables HR, training, and operations teams to map, track, and manage employee competencies in real time.
Rick Van Echtelt, CEO of AG5, stated that clients seek control and clarity over workforce capability. Adding competency management tools represents a natural progression to help link skills data directly to job roles, audits, and compliance goals. The new features allow companies to define role-based competencies, assess proficiency levels, and automatically identify skills gaps across teams and departments.
By integrating these functions directly into AG5's existing platform, organizations can ensure that training, compliance, and resource planning align with actual workforce readiness. Competency management is increasingly recognized as a critical element of workforce planning, particularly in regulated industries like manufacturing, energy, and aviation. In these sectors, maintaining compliance and safety depends on clear documentation of employee qualifications and certifications.
AG5's visual competency matrices enable managers to easily identify qualified personnel for specific tasks, determine which employees require further development, and monitor how competencies evolve. This data-driven approach reduces manual tracking, streamlines audits, and supports continuous improvement initiatives. Van Echtelt emphasized the goal of making competency management actionable for teams on a daily basis, rather than only during audits or reviews.
This expansion reinforces AG5's position as a partner for companies seeking innovative and transparent ways to manage workforce skills, training, and compliance. For more information about AG5's expanded platform capabilities, visit https://www.ag5.com.
