Support Skills Development and Training Ensure employees can meet the changing needs of the business, while focusing on development and progression for the whole workforce. Make skills and development opportunities equitable and fair. The Context To meet productivity challenges and skills gaps it is important employees are developed. In order to meet these new working practices, training and development should not privilege those physically present. Skills development and training can ‘level up’ the organisation by ensuring everyone is supported to develop new skills. Practical Solutions • Check on new training needs for employees. • Reassess new training needs for the business. • Show commitment to long-term training and development and invest in your most important assets (your people). • Work with your team to facilitate informal, peer and social learning; and check that they are taking place. • Keep a focus on development and progression for all employees in the organisations regardless of where they are physically located. • Ensure ways in which new employees can have a sense of belonging, perhaps through buddying up with colleagues they can informally learn from or have a mentor. • Create action plans so all employees have access and support in development and learning.
