1:45 PM How to Identify Real Training Needs — The Do’s and Don’ts of Surveying Your Workforce

HR and Learning leaders are increasingly relied upon to align workforce strategies with business objectives. One primary method for accomplishing this goal is surveying employees to discover gaps in competencies, whether among individual employees or specific teams. Our panel members, will draw upon their business-case experience with surveying their workforce to uncover strengths and weaknesses among their workforce skills. HR records, focus groups, interviews, on-the-job observations and assessments are all tools in the learning officer’s toolbox but not all are appropriate, depending on the situation. Learn how to identify business needs, perform a gap analysis, assess training plans and costs in this practical panel.
