0 used to describe someone who works for a company at two levels higher than another person, or a meeting or relationship that involves an employee and a manager at two levels higher:
It's rarely a good idea to badmouth your line manager to your skip-level boss.
Not only direct managers but also skip-level leaders have a significant impact when it comes to employee retention.
In a skip-level meeting, upper-level management bypasses mid-level management to talk directly to non-managerial employees.
Skip-level interviews are one on one meetings between a senior leader and employee.
