Recognising and Showcasing Employee Skills with Digital Badges

Digital badges offer a modern and effective way to recognise and showcase the skills and achievements of your team. By introducing digital badges, you can provide employees with a valuable way to document their professional development and share their accomplishments.

As part of your organisation’s learning and development initiatives, employees will have the opportunity to earn digital badges that reflect the skills they have gained. These badges can be displayed on professional networking sites, social media, and internal recognition platforms, helping to highlight expertise and career growth.

All earned digital badges can be stored in Talent Hive, My Skills Pass, a digital skills wallet and CV platform launching in April 2025.

Employees can continue to build their digital profile by adding badges from internal training, professional development programmes, and other recognised achievements—creating a comprehensive record of their skills.
