Abstract

A computer system may identify an individual accessing a resource computer system. A request from the identified individual to access employee data in a resource computer system may be received. A determination may be made as to whether the identified individual is an employee of a plurality of employees of an entity. Upon determining the identified individual is an employee of the plurality of employees of the entity, updated identified individual entered proficiency level ratings data for a plurality of skills of the identified individual may be received. A notification to a manager of the updated identified individual entered proficiency level ratings data may be generated. For each updated identified individual entered proficiency level ratings data for the plurality of skills of the identified individual, manager entered validation data may be received.

7. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

in response to determining that the type of the second request is a request to search for employees by the applicable skill, receiving, by the resource computer system, manager entered parameters to search for employees by the applicable skill; and

outputting, by the resource computer system, employee identification data for employees having the applicable skill that meet the manager entered parameters.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising receiving manager entered data representative of addition of at least one employee, of the employees having the applicable skill that meet the manager entered parameters, to the team of the manager with a specific role on the team.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of skills include at least one of:

knowledge of technical applications, knowledge of client processes, and knowledge of region specific requirements.

10. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory having stored therein computer executable instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform a method of;

identifying an individual accessing a resource computer system;

receiving, by the resource computer system, a request from the identified individual to access employee data in the resource computer system;

determining, by the resource computer system, whether the identified individual is an employee of a plurality of employees of an entity;

upon determining the identified individual is an employee of the plurality of employees of the entity, receiving, by the resource computer system, updated identified individual entered proficiency level ratings data for a plurality of skills of the identified individual;

generating, by the resource computer system, a notification to a manager of the updated identified individual entered proficiency level ratings data; and

receiving, for each updated identified individual entered proficiency level ratings data for the plurality of skills of the identified individual, by the resource computer system, manager entered validation data.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, the computer executable instructions further causing the apparatus to perform a method of:

receiving, by the resource computer system, a second request to access employee data;
