The strategy focuses on developing a learning and development program tailored for a B2B SaaS organization in India with over 350 employees. The first step involves assessing current skills and identifying gaps. This is done by conducting a skills audit across departments and consulting with heads to identify key competencies and gaps. For example, finding areas where employees need technical upskilling or soft skills enhancement.
The next step is designing tailored training modules, which are created in alignment with company goals. The modules cover technical, soft skills, and leadership areas. For instance, e-learning options are incorporated for flexible access, and industry experts are engaged for specialized content.
Lastly, effective evaluation metrics are implemented to gauge the impact of training. Pre-and post-training assessments help in measuring learning gains, while ongoing feedback from participants ensures sustained engagement. The strategy also includes tracking improvements in employee performance and assessing the cost-effectiveness of training investments.
