On Grow, select the three-dot menu for your chosen Skill, then Add to Focus or Remove from Focus; you can have up to five.

Before you start

  • The skill must already be on your Grow page.

  • If the three-dot menu is missing on Grow, your organisation manages skills for you. Ask your Admin.

Add a Focus Skill

  1. In the side panel, select Grow.

  2. Select the three-dot menu on the Skill's row, then Add to Focus.

    The skill menu on Grow with Add to Focus highlighted

You'll see Skill added to focus, and a star appears next to the skill name. A Focus Skills row with learning for the skill appears on the Home page.

Note: If Add to Focus isn't in the menu, you most likely already have five focus skills. Remove one first.

Remove a focus skill

  1. In the sidebar, select Grow.

  2. Select ⋯ on the starred skill, then Remove from Focus.

You'll see Skill removed from focus. The skill stays on your profile with its level and reviews; only the star goes.

Good to know

  • The star next to a skill name only shows its status. Make changes from the three-dot menu.

  • For a skill your Target Role needs, Add to Focus appears only once the skill has a rating. Rate yourself first.

  • To list only your focus skills, select the star button above your skills (Show only focus skills).

  • Each change is recorded in Skills Activity. Nobody else is notified.
