What bank employees can learn from alpacas

The skillaware mascot is called Skilly and is not a cheeky alpaca by chance. The deeper meaning of the furry four-legged friend and what we humans can learn from alpacas when it comes to development.

Lifelong learning

With skillaware, all bank employees and interested persons have the opportunity to test their own competence fitness free of charge. We offer an onlinequestionnaire for this purpose. There you can assess your own skills anonymously and securely using an anonymous online self-evaluation. More than 8,000 people have already completed the "skillaware" self-evaluation and actively addressed their skills. competence development is a topic that is rapidly gaining in importance in almost all sectors due to digitisation and the changes in work contexts. This makes the topic equally relevant for all banking institutions, employees and managers. In order to be able to ensure employability in the long term, regular training of one's own skills is required. The aim of self-evaluation is therefore to identify particular skills and potential for improvement and thus to develop further in a targeted manner in the spirit of lifelong learning.

Self-image is not the same as external image

However, self-assessment only makes sense if you reflect critically and honestly - and also allow yourself to be scrutinized by third parties. In addition to self-reflection , skillaware therefore also offers the opportunity to supplement your own assessment with an external image. This allows you to find out where other people, such as work colleagues or other personal contacts, see your greatest strengths and potential. This can provide you with valuable insights that give your skills profile additional relevance and significance. The external assessment is optional and is an exciting new feature that rounds off the self-reflection holistically. Data protection is also a top priority for questionnaire at external feedback . Both surveys are conducted by ValueQuest, the leading Swiss specialist for employee surveys.

Eat, sleep, exercise, repeat

And what about the alpaca again? "Skilly" our mascot is an alpaca. It accompanies you through the 30-minute online self-reflection and motivates you to stay on the ball. Skilly embodies all the qualities that are useful for driving your own development in the long term. Because,
alpacas are tough and ambitious by nature. No matter how difficult the path, an alpaca never gives up, overcomes obstacles and always makes it to the top of the mountain. With the right perseverance and the necessary willpower, you too can train your skills in a targeted and continuous manner and continue to develop in the changing world of work. However, it is also important to take breaks during training. Allow yourself some rest and time for your self-reflection in between before tackling the next training session. With this in mind: "Eat, sleep, exercise, repeat!"
