This manuscript extracts an exhaustive list of employability skills and subsequently uses them to develop an empirical model termed as the ‘Twirl of Dexterity' using a set of eight well defined skills. These skills form the core of the model along with 24 attributes of each skill, which form the periphery. These together help organisations decipher the trainability of the employee. The employees can be judged on these 24 attributes of employability with some benchmarking indicating the Proficiency/ Sufficiency/ Deficiency levels and training programs can be framed accordingly. The 24 attributes have been worked out after performing the factor analysis of the responses gathered from around 400 respondents. The Twirl of Dexterity can be subsequently used as a ‘skill meter' to analyse the skill set of the employees and synchronised with the Johari Window concept to further enhance a trainee's perception and reaction to training. The manuscript further proceeds to empirically validate the use of the combination of The Twirl of Dexterity and the Johari Window for improving the effectiveness of training and subsequently leveraging it for better results.
