Retain places skills intelligence at the centre of resource management. The platform provides a structured skills framework that allows organisations to understand talent capability across projects, departments and locations. By connecting skills data to planning, scheduling and project delivery, organisations can assign the right expertise to the right work while maintaining visibility into capability gaps and development opportunities.
Many organisations rely on fragmented systems to track workforce capability. Skills information is often stored across HR systems, spreadsheets and individual profiles, making it difficult to maintain a consistent view of expertise across the organisation.
Retain introduces a unified skills framework that links talent capability directly to resource management workflows. By combining structured skills data with project delivery insights, organisations can make more informed decisions about how work is allocated and how talent develops over time.
Retain Skills+ powered by Lightcast, providing access to a global library of up to 30,000 industry skills. This enables organisations to build a consistent skills taxonomy across departments while tailoring the framework to match internal roles and capabilities.
Organisations can ensure the accuracy of skills data through approval workflows. When talent updates their skills profile, managers can review and approve the changes to maintain consistency across the organisation’s capability framework.
Retain provides notifications when important skills information changes. This includes alerts when certifications expire, when recommended skills are available or when a manager needs to review capability updates within their team.
Managers can endorse skills demonstrated during project delivery through structured job reviews. Merit badges and endorsements provide qualitative insight into capability development while recognising expertise demonstrated on real projects.
Skills analytics help organisations identify capability shortages and plan recruitment or training strategies. By connecting skills data with project demand, organisations gain clearer visibility into future capability requirements.
