In today’s complex world, we are witnessing the survival and prosperity of the lean, the agile, the inventive, the curious, the bold, and the brave. As IT organizations strive to stay ahead of the curve in the ever-changing competitive landscape, upskilled and engaged employees will make a lasting impact on your organization’s DevOps transformation.

Achieving DevOps change through talent transformation requires a workforce with a blend of skills and capabilities covering technical, business, and digital domains. One way of building this talented workforce that can achieve the DevOps change is by utilizing verified recognition badges. Not only can these badges help foster ongoing engagement with learners, but they also provide a way for organizations to reward employees for their efforts and ensure that talent remains ahead of the curve. Let’s look at how verified badges can help organizations develop continuous talent and enable their DevOps Transformation. 

What are Recognition Badges?

DASA Recognition Badges are visual representations of successful learning achievements for DevOps professionals.

To help organizations achieve DevOps transformation goals, learners can be awarded badges to recognize the successful completion of job role-based programs and the achievement of technical and behavioral, and interpersonal skills. The badges act as a trusted, verifiable, and shareable way to showcase newly acquired skills and competencies. 

Types of Recognition Badges

Capability Badges

Capability Badges are a great way to recognize employees for their accomplishments and mastery of skills related to their job role. These badges are earned after completing a job-role-based learning program, with the association of competencies required for that key DevOps role. Not only does this validate learners’ achievements, but it recognizes the gained skills necessary to function efficiently in the DevOps field. 

Proficiency Badges

Receiving a DevOps proficiency badge involves going through a program designed to deepen the understanding of DevOps principles and technologies. Learners take on challenges related to DevOps topics, such as security, scalability, performance, and infrastructure automation. Obtaining these certification badges can help companies upskill and reskill to DevOps roles faster and save time in onboarding new staff for DevOps positions.
