• Key Concepts: 
  A competency gap is a difference between the skills and knowledge that an employee currently has and the skills and knowledge that are required for them to perform their job effectively. In the context of SAP SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LOD-SF-LMS), competency gaps can be identified by assessing an employee’s current competencies against the competencies required for their job role. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The LOD-SF-LMS allows users to identify competency gaps by creating a competency profile for each employee. This profile can be used to compare the employee’s current competencies against the competencies required for their job role. The system then provides a report that identifies any gaps between the two sets of competencies. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a competency profile, it is important to ensure that the profile accurately reflects the employee’s current skills and knowledge. This will ensure that any gaps identified are accurate and can be addressed effectively. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The LOD-SF-LMS also allows users to create learning plans for employees to help them address any identified competency gaps. These plans can include courses, webinars, and other learning activities that are tailored to the individual’s needs.
