From the course: Getting Started as a LinkedIn Learning Admin

Skill Insights

- [Instructor] Another great source of information is the Skill Insights for your organization. This is another feature within the insights tab. I'm going to navigate up to insights and then down to skills. I'll click this. This brings me to the Skill Insights page for my organization. Here you can see a lot of different things. Up at the top is, which skills are my employees developing on LinkedIn Learning? So this is telling you what type of content that your employees are learning. Right here you can see professional development, career management, leadership. Now, this is a fictitious account. Hopefully yours doesn't look like this but if this were true, right now, you can see that all the percentages are going down, which is not good. Hopefully yours are going up here. But you'll see here that you can see the different categories and then how many unique learners that you have for that specific skill. Over here, that's the percentage of all active learners. One thing I really like about this is that you can take action from right within this page. Say for instance that I thought we needed some work on communication for our organization, I can go here to communication and I'm going to open that up and it's going to bring me to this page where I can go search for communication content. I can go to courses, go in here and find that, start filtering them even further and find relevant content. Now for this, you can filter it by time, so past seven days, 30 days, three months, and so on. You can search for specific skills to see how many learners there are for a specific skill and you can also go to groups and search in different groups if you would like to do that. So maybe I want to look particularly at the sales group. Now, another thing if you scroll down here, you can also see which skills your employees have listed on their LinkedIn profiles. So this is important because it shows you which skills that your employees already possess. Here you'll be able to see how many employees have that particular skill, what the one year growth is, and one year hires, how many one year hires are there that have this as well. Now you can also filter these. You can filter it by skill, location, job title, job function, and there's a new filter for affiliated organizations. With the launch of the affiliated organization's filter LinkedIn Learning can help your organization determine their full skill profile. This is valuable for driving centralized upskilling initiatives especially for large global enterprises. This filter empowers admins to customize their organization's Skills Insights by including or excluding affiliates and subsidiaries. You'll see if I click here I can then go ahead and select any of these subsidiaries or I can check and close them off. So maybe I didn't want Microsoft in here. You can also do this, dive deeper into a specific subsidiary by just simply clicking on one. So maybe I want to go down here and click on this one and it will give me information related to that one. So take advantage of this Skills Insight data to help you track and manage learning within your organization. It will help you to find skill gaps, find ways to improve learner engagement, and keep your employees learning the skills that you need them to learn.
