Skills Management

Did you know?

  • Research has shown that a 5% increase in the proportion of workers trained is associated with a 4% increase in productivity (Dearden L. Who gains when workers train? Institute of Fiscal Studies, 2000).
  • A survey of mission statements shows that 36% of FTSE 100 companies say people are their most important asset (InfoBasis, 2006).

However, UK training budgets are shown to be slashed by 23% from 2005 to 2006 (CIPD Annual L&D Survey, April 2006). Also, even if the Government were to meet all its skills and education targets by 2020, "the nation's human capital will still fail to be world class" (the Leitch review of UK Skills, 2005).

KnowledgePool can help with the accurate identification of development needs and of targeted learning to meet those needs. This ability is of vital importance to L&D teams if they are to deliver performance improvements against a background of ever-tighter financial control.
