ELECTRONIC SKILLS AUDITING SYSTEM

To most organizations, the benefits of investing in on-going staff training are clear. They include:

 

  • Process improvements: reduced duplication of effort, less time spent correcting mistakes, faster access to information, etc.
  • Cost savings: lower staff turnover; lower recruitment costs; reduction in bad debts; reduced customer support calls; reduced help desk calls; reduced need for supervision; reduced downtime; increased staff productivity; fewer machine breakdowns; lower maintenance costs, etc.
  • Improved profitability: increased sales; more referrals due to better customer service; new product ideas; improved customer satisfaction and retention, etc.
  • Performance improvement: in quality, quantity, speed, safety, problem solving, etc.
  • Behavioural improvements: in attitude, ethics, motivation, leadership, communication, reduced staff conflict, etc.
  • Increased staff satisfaction: well trained staff tend to be happier, stay longer, and are more loyal.

Research undertaken to uncover the financial impact to an organisation of investing in staff training shows a clear and quantifiable link between an above average investment in staff training and superior bottom line performance. 

“So, If we accept the need for investing in a formal staff training program, how does one go about identifying staff training requirements and putting a suitable program in place?

A Skills Audit is a process that can be used to identify the skill gaps in an organisation. The outcome is a training needs analysis that identifies where training is required. We will assist with the implementation and application of QuikSkills© – which would incorporate training on the principles and concepts of Skills Audits and how the process is aligned to organisational strategy.

 

A Skills Audit results in:

 

  • An understanding of the skills required and gaps the organisation currently has;

  • A list of people who need development;
  • Data that can be used for purposes such as internal selection; and
