1 Share of the equality and inclusion manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the human resources officer 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 equality and inclusion manager role treats 18 of its required skills as things a human resources officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

apply company policies
build trust
develop employee retention programs
develop professional network
ensure gender equality in the workplace
evaluate training

What stands in the way is 17 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A equality and inclusion manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a human resources officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held ensure gender equality in the workplace assisting and caring
already held negotiate with employment agencies communication, collaboration and creativity
already held organise staff assessment management skills
already held support employability of people with disabilities management skills
already held develop employee retention programs management skills
already held evaluate training information skills

All 21 carried skills, including the 18 the equality and inclusion 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.
