1 Share of the pension scheme manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the equality and inclusion manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A pension scheme manager role treats 17 of its required skills as things a equality and inclusion manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

apply company policies
apply strategic thinking
comply with legal regulations
coordinate operational activities
develop employee retention programs
employment law

What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pension scheme manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a equality and inclusion manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held promote gender equality in business contexts assisting and caring
already held organise staff assessment management skills
already held develop training programmes management skills
already held negotiate with employment agencies communication, collaboration and creativity
already held develop employee retention programs management skills
already held evaluate training information skills

All 25 carried skills, including the 17 the pension scheme manager role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
