 WHY PARTICIPATE?

The State of California is facing wave after wave of crises that require efficient centralized coordination. Existing strategies and resources are heavily strained from the fallout of COVID-19, racial reform efforts, and escalating disaster management. Collaboration across agency and departmental boundaries are essential if we are to:

-Identify skills and capabilities during emergency activations and back-fill vacancies that result from emergency mandates

-Facilitate agency and department collaboration to coordinate expertise for situational needs that preclude the need to contract specialized services

-Identify special talent within your organization and leverage innovative thinkers and problem-solvers

-Create acute access to leadership skills and capabilities that build your leadership bench

-Introduce and build acceptance of a virtual operating environment in your organization

-Attract a younger generation of employees an
BENEFITS:

-The SACNet Skills Bank beta-tests a statewide solution (top down - bottom up) that engages employees as it builds personal accountability while responding to the real-time needs of government in a pandemic culture.

-The data generated by this survey will provide a baseline for how employee skills and expertise are identified, accessed, and deployed.  

-The Skills Bank will build a connected workforce whose shared vision can meet real needs in real-time.

EMPLOYEE PROFILE - COMPETENCIES: 

This section outlines the categories under the SACNet Skills Bank MVP.  

Note: Minimum Viable Product Definition: The first iteration of the SACNet Skills Bank is termed as the "Minimum Viable Product" (MVP).  

Summary:  Every state employee using the SACNet Skills Bank will have a unique personal profile. These profiles will enable employees to highlight their skills, competencies, and accomplishments. Managers will then be able to use that information to build teams with employees from within their departments and statewide.

CalHR has created Core and Leadership Competency Models that identify the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that leaders need to be successful in their roles. Leaders are expected to have proficiency in all of the core and leadership competencies. 

Competencies:  The knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to succeed by aligning capabilities, and optimizing performance. Core Competencies are foundational to ALL state employees.  Leadership Competencies define leadership behaviors relevant to state employees who want to build and develop leadership skills. Competencies support the state's ability to attract, develop and retain a highly talented workforce. They are overarching but do not supersede departmental competencies specific to occupation and job-specific requirements - these are vast in nature and are not included in the MVP.  

The initial SACNet Skills Bank "MVP" Profile will be made up of 4 categories: 
  1. Competencies  
  2. Certifications
  3. Training Programs
  4. Team Building
The following represent conceptual questions for each of the 4 categories:
