Add the skills you have or want to develop, so HowNow can suggest learning for them and track your progress.

On Grow, select Add Skill, tick the skills you want, set your current level for each and select Add Skills.

Before you start

If you don't see Add Skill on Grow, your organisation manages skills for you. Ask your admin to add them.

Add Skills

  1. In the sidebar, select Grow.

  2. Select Add Skill at the top right.

  3. Tick a skill under Recommended Skills, or search for one and tick it.

  4. Select the Level button next to the skill and choose your current level, from Novice (Level 1) to Expert (Level 5).

    Choosing Level 2 for Problem Solving in the Add Skills panel

  5. Repeat for any other skills, then select Add Skills.

You'll see Skills added. Each skill appears on Grow marked Added by you, and Skills Activity records the change.

Good to know

  • The level you choose is your self review of where you are today, not a target. Reviews from other people can change your overall level later.

  • Recommended Skills come from your job role. If your role has none left to add, HowNow suggests other skills instead.

  • Skills your job role requires appear with your role's skills. Others appear under Also Developing.

  • You can add up to 30 skills at a time. Nobody is notified when you add them.
