What is a Skill Matrix in HR?

----
A skill matrix, or a competency matrix, is a grid-like framework that serves as a tool for mapping out and visualizing your employees’ skills and their skill levels while comparing them to the skill set needed to execute a given project. The skill matrix is a table where all of the skills necessary for a given project or team are outlined and compared with the skills each team member has. That way, as an employer, team leader, or boss, you can see what skills you have at your disposal and skills you are missing, thus identifying your team’s skill gap.

With the evaluation, what if your doing one for a team of upwards of 50? Requesting feedback from 5 different stakeholders just isn’t practical. Plus what if each person asked had a different opinion about a persons skill set? Wouldn’t it be better to get an evaluation from the employee and their line manager?

Hi there. When evaluating a large team, like one with over 50 members, involving multiple stakeholders in the evaluation process can provide a more holistic view of an employee's performance and skills.
However, for larger teams, it might not be feasible to gather feedback from multiple sources for every individual. In such cases, a targeted approach can be more practical. For instance, you could request feedback from different stakeholders for different team members.
Regarding your point about getting evaluations from the employee and their line manager only, this is certainly a more streamlined approach and can be effective, especially with limited time and resources. Self-evaluations allow employees to reflect on their own performance and set personal goals, while the line manager's evaluation provides an external perspective on their contributions and areas for development.
Hopefully, this helps. All the best.

Good from subjective perspective but it would be much better if practical examples had been added to it
