Its human resources (HR) department recently completed a skills gap analysis for its workforce using resumes, employee feedback, managerial feedback, industry data, and analysis of internal data related to task completion. It identified skills gaps related to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, and its new CRM software that needed to be improved across the organization. HR also projects a 10%-15% productivity improvement across its workforce by providing training to its workforce to increase skills in these software programs.
The IT department has been assigned the project of providing access to a third-party vendors training materials to all its employees. The courses taken must be tracked within each employees HR record, which uses a separate HR software package.
