Suggest training that matches skills gaps
HR development recommends suitable training to employees based on their skills gaps
Fits: Leaders & strategy · HR · Teaching & education
Employees find the two or three courses in your training offer that match their role and their gaps, instead of clicking through a long catalogue. HR development sees which courses are needed and which nobody needs.
Is this for you?
- You have described requirements or skills profiles for your roles and have a training catalogue with learning objectives.
- Skills are already recorded, for example in appraisal meetings, through self-assessment or on a learning platform.
- The suggestions are meant as an offer to employees and should play no part in decisions on promotion, appraisal or task allocation.
Take a role description, a made-up skills profile without a name and 10 to 15 courses from your catalogue, and have suggestions made using the template below. Check whether each suggestion matches a real gap and only courses that you actually offer appear.
How to go about it
- Decide what the course suggestions are for
- Bring skills profiles and the course catalogue together
- Set up suggestions on the learning platform
- Test in one department against the current advice
- Roll out to all employees
- Check the effect and fairness of the suggestions
