Is it important in my workplace to develop my staff's skill base?
A common response when employees are surveyed in the workplace to determine job satisfaction is, after a fair and equitable pay rate, professional development or skills development and the opportunity for advancement rates most desirable.
Recognition of prior learning is a vehicle for you to provide both. It enables you to recognise your staff's existing skills and provide a formal process for certification that offers a high degree of flexibility.
You will also have the opportunity to identify the skills gaps of your employees thus improving the overall productivity of your staff. It also provides them the opportunity to network with other staff regarding skills gained and the ability to mentor younger less skilled staff. Most of all it makes you a desirable employer with the ability to recruit a more talented pool of workers.
By formally recognising your staff's skills, you could:
- improve staff motivation
- reduce training costs
- increase productivity
- retain valued employees
- gain a better understanding of the skills of your staff.
How can workforce development planning assist your business?
Workforce development planning is about predicting the future demand for different types of staff and skills and developing staffing strategies to meet this demand. Changing demands can be driven by political and policy change, the labour market, social change and technological change.
Workforce development planning is the link between your business' strategies and goals and your staff's recruitment, retention and training plans.
Effective workforce development planning is an important tool in maximising your resources and building your workforce capacity in a structured way. Your staff are the key to successful improvement and capacity building. If you plan well, your business will be better equipped not only to manage your daily activities but to respond to changing demands and priorities. There are many benefits to effective workforce development planning, including:
- reduced staff shortages and staffing costs
- delivery of quality and timely services
- effective implementation of diversity policies
- support for the development of future managers and leaders
- forecast of employment needs by anticipating changes
- timely delivery of appropriate staff training
- best practice in staff performance and sickness absence management.
Workforce development planning in partnership with effective strategic and operational planning can assist your business to maintain a competitive edge within your industry sector.
What is recognition of prior learning and what are the benefits?
Recognition of prior learning is a credible and practical skills recognition process that looks at what individuals know and can do, and may lead to recognition of individuals' skills and knowledge - regardless of how they were acquired. The potential benefits to you and your business are:
- maximising the skills and knowledge of everyone in your workplace
- gain a better understanding of your employees' skills, knowledge and training needs
- recruit, develop and retain a skilled workforce
- promote efficiency by eliminating unnecessary repetitive training
- define, document and verify your employees' skills and knowledge through a systematic process
- increase staff morale and productivity through the recognition of your employees' skills and knowledge
- create job descriptions and expectations to help in hiring and training processes.
