employees across all UltraTech plants/units, including those at PF, SH, and DH levels in technical
departments across various manufacturing and project locations, land locations, and Birla White

Empirical Skill Gap Assessment: The Bridge Brilliance Tool introduces an empirical method
for technical skill gap assessment, departing from traditional methods based solely on business
needs or recommendations. It evaluates the technical skill proficiencies of PF, SH, and DH level
employees using a skill taxonomy aligned with the UTSF.
2. Multi-Rater Assessment: Skill assessments are conducted through a multi-rater assessment
method using a 4-point Likert scale. This approach helps mitigate bias and ensure a more accurate
evaluation.
3. Skill Gap Identification: The tool identifies skill gaps by subtracting the employee's skill score
from the required proficiency level.
4. Assessment Process Flow:
The assessment process involves three key components: Self-Assessment, Line Manager Assessment,
and Skip Manager Assessment. Please note that Skip Manager Assessment assesses the subordinate
employee after the Line Manager has completed the eligibility check, position update, and assessment.
1. Line Manager Assessment:

•
The Line Manager is responsible for conducting eligibility checks, updating the employee's
position information, and assessing the employee's skills and proficiency.
Once the Line Manager has completed these steps, the assessment becomes available for the
Self-Assessment and Skip Manager Assessment for the respective employee.
2. Self-Assessment:
•
•
Following the completion of the Line Manager Assessment, the employee is given the
opportunity to assess their own skills and proficiency.
The Self-Assessment contributes to the overall skill score calculation.
3. Skip Manager Assessment:
•
•
•
The Skip Manager Assessment assesses the subordinate employee after the Line Manager has
completed their responsibilities, including the eligibility check, position update, and
assessment.
If the Skip Manager also serves as the Line Manager for the employee, they will perform the
same responsibilities as the Line Manager in the assessment process.
