I'm not sure what afspiegelen means in my context, I don't think it has anything to do with the afspiegelingsbeginsel
'Deze instructie beschrijft de acties die ondernomen worden om de kennis van de XXX medewerkers in kaart te brengen en af te spiegeling [sic] ten opzichte van de functiebehoeften'
'Op basis van de kennisafspiegeling selecteert de leidinggevende de gepaste ontwikkelbehoeften en vertaalt deze in doelstellingen en verwachtingscriteria in een opleidingstraject, dit in samenspraak met de medewerker;
does it just mean compare?

knowledge mirroring/reflection
This is obviously internal jargon, like "kennis matrix" in your discussion-box example. It gets almost no hits, and I don't think its exact meaning is your problem.

: NL probably is internal jargon and this is snappy like the source term and sounds English-and your ref gives it substance

‘Knowledge match [= kennisafspiegeling]
Prior surveys have not asked workers to assess the more general connection between their job-related knowledge and what they need to do a job. Such a question encourages workers to think beyond specific qualifications and credentials to the types of knowledge and the capabilities they really need to do their jobs. This question was not asked in the 2004 WALL Survey, but it was asked in the subsequent 2004 EJRM Survey of wage and salary earners in Ontario (to be discussed further in Chapter 5). The results, which appear in Graph 4.23, are very different than those for the matching questions asked in prior surveys. Nearly three-quarters of all workers express the view that they have more job-related knowledge than they need to perform their current jobs. Most of the remaining workers say their knowledge matches their job. Hardly any say they have less knowledge than their job requires. This pattern is almost identical for all employee classes.
In summary, these survey findings on matching show a labour force keeping ahead of, or keeping up with, changing formal job requirements. The match between formal education attained and education required is weakening, as credential attainment outpaces formal job requirements and credential underemployment grows. [...]’

: Indeed, this is how I also 'read' the first two examples provided. The ones provided in the D-box are a bit more confusing.

Discussion
Carrying out a so-called 'knowledge gap analysis' is what came to my mind first after reading your question (incl. the two example sentences provided) but the additional examples from your source text (as provided in the D-box) are indeed confusing. Analyseert de verschillen tussen de vereiste en de aanwezige kennis in zijn team, dit aan de hand van de XXX functie kennis matrix en rechtvaardigt de beslissing om geen afspiegeling uit te voeren suggests that the knowledge gap analysis precedes the 'afspiegeling'.
kennisafspiegeling = the degree to which the knowledge is a good match / matches the knowledge required for a certain position
en te beoordelen in hoeverre die kennis voldoet aan de functiebehoeften
Op basis van de kennisafspiegeling
Op basis van de beoordeling van de behoefte aan verdere kennis
Analyseert de verschillen tussen de vereiste en de aanwezige kennis in zijn team, dit aan de hand van de XXX functie kennis matrix en rechtvaardigt de beslissing om geen afspiegeling uit te voeren.
