Abstract

Employability skills are identified as one of the valuable assets for an individual to perform effectively in their job. This article extricates an encyclopedic list of Employability Skills needed in the health care industry, represented through a pragmatic model termed as The Whirl of Prowess. This conceptual framework was developed using a set of nine core skills extracted from research papers and focus group interviews conducted on 100 respondents. These skills form the core of model along with 22 attributes, forming the periphery. This will assist an organization to set some benchmarks, on the basis of which employees are evaluated demonstrating proficiency/ sufficiency/ deficiency levels. This model would help organizations to facilitate tailored training programs for their employees. The Whirl of Prowess would act as a skill meter available to organizations to evaluate and analyze the individual skills for various HRM practices like recruitment, career-development, performance management and others.
