December 19, 2024
Client Overview
Company: A Fortune 500 Global IT Consulting Leader headquartered in the USA
Industry: Professional Services & Technology Consulting
Workforce Size: 300,000+ employees worldwide
Primary Objective:
To accelerate workforce growth and efficiency through lateral training programs for mid-level and senior employees.
As a world-renowned industry leader, the client wanted to support its employees in learning new skills and transitioning to different roles more smoothly. By offering training that prepared workers for new positions within the organization, they aimed to ensure everyone had the skills needed to keep up with the company’s evolving demands.
What was preventing our client from having a skilled workforce?
1. Skills Gap & Alignment
The organization struggled with employees hesitating to step out of their current positions to cross-train or take on new roles. Adapting to skills that differed significantly from their existing competencies proved daunting for many. Identifying skills gap and matching them to the demands of new roles added to the complexity of the challenge.
2. Inefficient Learning Mechanisms
The existing learning and development programs were generic and lacked the flexibility to cater to individual employee needs. This resulted in low engagement, poor course completion rates, and minimal skill adoption. Employees often failed to see how the training was relevant to their day-to-day responsibilities, further diminishing its impact.
3. Limited Performance Analytics
The organization faced difficulties in tracking the progress and effectiveness of their training efforts. They lacked a comprehensive solution to monitor skills in real time, assess employee performance, and gather actionable feedback to measure the success of their upskilling initiatives.
