Employee skills development is now a key component of sustainable corporate success. Many organisations are finding that they can not only increase the motivation and loyalty of their employees with targeted measures, but also improve the quality of their work and increase their innovative strength. As part of KIROI Step 8 in particular, employee skills development is systematically supported and customised. This approach makes it possible to promote potential in a targeted manner and actively shape change processes.
Employee skills development with KIROI Step 8
KIROI step 8 stands for structured support for skills development. Companies use this step to design individual learning paths and provide targeted support for employee development. Various methods are combined to meet the different needs and potentials.
Practical methods for employee skills development
One of the most effective methods is mentoring. Experienced colleagues pass on their knowledge and experience to younger employees. This not only promotes professional skills, but also social integration and trust within the team. In the IT industry, for example, mentoring programmes are often used to quickly integrate new employees into complex projects.
Workshops and teamwork are other important components. They offer the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge directly in practice. In production, workshops are used to learn and optimise new technologies and processes together. The participants work on real tasks and benefit from the support of their colleagues.
Digital learning platforms and e-learning programmes enable flexible, self-directed learning. These tools are indispensable, especially in global teams, in order to guarantee further training regardless of time and place. Employees can continuously expand their skills and pursue individual learning goals.
Employee skills development in practice
Employee skills development begins with a needs analysis. Here, the current and future competences required for the company's strategic goals are determined. Individual development plans are then drawn up that are tailored to the specific strengths and development areas of the employees.
A practical example: In a medium-sized company, KIROI Step 8 was used to implement a further development programme in which managers created individual skills profiles for their employees. This resulted in targeted training courses that were combined with face-to-face workshops. The result: a measurable increase in employee motivation and continuous improvement in the quality of work.
Job rotation is another tried and tested method. Employees change departments or tasks for a limited period of time and thus acquire a broader range of skills. In the logistics industry, job rotation is used to familiarise employees with different processes and promote their flexibility.
Managers as development companions
Managers play a decisive role in employee skills development. They are not only responsible for implementing measures, but also for motivating and supporting their teams. An open feedback culture is essential here. Regular feedback meetings help to review progress and discover new development potential.
In the healthcare industry, managers are often trained in coaching programmes to provide their employees with targeted support. They learn to create individual learning paths and master challenges together. This strengthens trust and motivation within the team.
Another example: A mentoring programme for young doctors was introduced in a large hospital. Experienced colleagues were available as mentors and supported the new employees during their induction and in overcoming challenges. The result: higher satisfaction and lower staff turnover.
My analysis
Employee skills development is a multi-layered process that contributes significantly to the success of a company. KIROI Step 8 offers valuable tools to support this process in a structured and targeted manner. By combining practical methods, individual support and intelligent technology, organisations can specifically help their employees to develop further and better meet challenges. This systematic support has a positive effect on motivation, loyalty and ultimately on overall performance.
