Skill Gaps : Overcoming the Deficit of Skilled Workers
OVERVIEW
Workforce skills area is a priority for any
business looking to remain competitive in the current economic landscape. The
importance of skill development cannot be underestimated as it benefits
employers through improved costs, greater customer satisfaction and increased
profitability.
Skill gaps in the workplace are self-defined
by employers when they perceive that an employee lacks certain skills, which is
preventing him from being fully proficient in his job role. Additionally,
skills gaps are defined as the difference between skills that employers want or
need, and skills their workforce offers. Knowing how to conduct a skills gap
analysis helps organizations identify skills they need to meet their business
goals.
Skill gaps in the workplace can occur at an
individual, departmental, and organizational level at any time because staff
lack critical skills required to complete a task successfully, or non-critical
skills (skills that are not essential but would enable a task to be completed
more quickly or efficiently) due to changes in the working environment.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Data supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Labour
Statistics shows that those available for employment aren’t armed with the
skills needed for the roles employers are currently hiring for. The value of
skills development in the workplace cannot be underestimated as it benefits
employers through improved costs, greater customer satisfaction and increasing
profitability and productivity.
This presentation will assist participants in
understanding what’s behind the skill gaps in the workplace and what measures
employers can take to close the gap.
