Samsung Electronics' DX division established the My Skills platform to support customized education and career development by analyzing the capabilities of executives and employees in detailed skill units rather than focusing on existing jobs or positions.
Samsung Electronics' Finished Products Division (DX) announced on the 7th that it has opened 'My Skills', a career platform that analyzes each employee's capabilities in detailed 'skill' units and supports growth.
My Skills is a platform that breaks away from the existing perspective of defining employees only by specific departments or positions, and helps employees understand their actual work capabilities by breaking them down into skill units.
Samsung Electronics analyzed 1.12 million internal and external data, including internal performance evaluations, project information, patents and papers, and certificates, using artificial intelligence (AI) to build a skill system of 10,487 skills encompassing 16 jobs in the DX division.
Through this platform, executives and employees can intuitively check their own skills and receive recommendations for customized in-house training courses to fill in the gaps in their capabilities.
Furthermore, employees can proactively explore new career opportunities through the 'Talent Marketplace' function, which guides in-house job posting announcements in the order of skill suitability for each employee.
This attempt is interpreted as being in line with the skill-based organizational transformation that global companies such as Unilever, IBM, and Walmart have been pursuing for several years.
These companies are building a flexible and solid organizational culture by identifying members by their actual skills rather than fixed jobs or titles and linking them to in-house placement, training, and recruitment.
A Samsung Electronics official said, “The skill platform will be able to support the sustainable growth of executives and employees through a virtuous cycle that leads to education and new work opportunities.”
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
The My Skills platform will be expanded to other Samsung Electronics business sectors.
