Identify Skills Gaps and Priority Areas

Performing a skills audit can help your company identify current employee abilities and compare them to the skills needed in the future. Review key performance indicators (KPIs) to complete your skills assessment. KPIs help evaluate current skills by indicating how well your personnel perform in their appointed roles. Feedback from managers, clients and peers can also provide insight into your employees’ skills.

To identify skills gaps, MedCerts Partner Solutions can assist you with:

• Observe industry trends

• Analyze workforce data

• Obtain insight from industry leaders in tech and healthcare

Once you have a clear picture of the skills gaps and future needs, we can set realistic goals and objectives for your upskilling program.

Create Employee Personal Development Plans

Building personalized development plans for your employees is another vital step in upskilling. A one-size-fits-all upskilling program may not meet every employee’s needs. Personal development plans help personnel understand their career path and stay motivated. They also help you match the right training resources to staff members.

MedCerts offers flexible, customizable and self-paced courses that can be included in these plans, allowing employees to learn at their convenience.

Set Aside Time for Learning

Allocating sufficient learning time to the upskilling process can be tricky since employees have many competing priorities. It’s essential to set aside time for training and development within the work schedule. Allow employees to dedicate a portion of their workweek to skill improvement to encourage a culture of continuous learning. Additionally, you can leverage MedCerts’ remote asynchronous learning platform, enabling your employees to access training materials anytime.

Connect Employees to a Mentor

Pairing employees with mentors is an excellent way to enhance the upskilling process. Mentorship programs can benefit everyone. The mentees receive tailored guidance and learn real-life applications of their newly found skills. Meanwhile, mentors reinforce their skills and derive fulfillment from helping build a strong and knowledgeable team.

Additionally, this mentor-mentee relationship adds a personal touch to the upskilling process. You can leverage MedCerts mentorship opportunities to connect your employees with institutional experts.

Create a Post-Training Plan

After the initial training, it’s crucial to have a post-training plan to ensure employees apply and refine their new skills. The plan often indicates how the organization will engage the upskilled workers. As an organization, you may consider linking upskilled employees to new opportunities.

This way, your staff members get to apply and reinforce their new skills, which can significantly impact operations. You can also request feedback on the upskilling program to identify areas that need improvement. Additionally, we encourage continuous learning, or reskilling, through MedCerts’ modern training solutions to keep skills current and relevant.
