Employees are an inevitable part of any organization. Odoo Employee module enables employee management. These employees bring our company to work more effectively and make better decisions.
So while hiring and assigning duties to employees, companies must record the complete details including resume, previous experience, educational qualifications and skills and projects are undertaken, etc rather than a mere data collection.
Under the employee module, details of the employee, salary structure and employment contract can be entered. One can easily identify the employee department. Also, work information, Private information, HR settings can be managed even with the organizational chart. We can record skills, resumes in the employee form with the help of this module.
This blog says how skill management modules is an add-on to the employee module.
