Development records
What this workflow covers
SkillProof records appraisal due dates, review status, outcomes and agreed development actions against the relevant staff member. Managers can see which reviews need follow-up and keep actions connected to CPD, competency and training records. It supports the record and workflow; it does not conduct the review, score performance automatically or replace manager judgement.
Plain-English answer
SkillProof in brief
SkillProof is appraisal management software for recording review dates, status, outcomes and owned development actions against each staff member.
What it tracks
- Appraisal due dates and review status
- Recorded outcomes, notes and evidence where used
- Manager and employee development actions
What it does not do
- It does not conduct appraisals or score performance automatically
- It does not replace manager or professional judgement
- It is not a full HRIS or talent-calibration suite
Why organisations replace spreadsheets
Review dates, status and follow-up actions stay connected to the staff record instead of being split across trackers, documents and manager inboxes.
How it differs from an LMS
An LMS delivers learning content. SkillProof records the review and development follow-up around training, CPD and competency records.

Where appraisal follow-up gets lost
The review date lives in a separate tracker
Managers check one file for due dates and another document for the appraisal outcome.
Agreed actions disappear into notes
A useful development action has no named owner, due date or visible follow-up after the meeting.
Status reporting becomes manual
HR rebuilds a list of completed, due and overdue reviews before each management update.
