The job market faces a significant skills gap, with a shortage of qualified candidates for available positions. A Korn Ferry study predicts that by 2030, all boomers will have left the workforce, leaving 85 million jobs open. To address this gap, companies are turning to HR technology to improve their training programs. HR technology can automate the development and distribution of training materials, making them more efficient and tailored to employees’ needs. It also improves access to training by providing remote access to training materials, allowing employees to train without a physical location. To make training more engaging, HR technology offers tailored training based on employee data, gamification elements to make training fun, and opportunities for social learning and collaboration. HR technical tools can also measure training effectiveness by tracking employee progress, measuring employee satisfaction, and evaluating the impact of training on business outcomes like productivity and customer satisfaction. HR professionals play a crucial role in employee training by selecting suitable software, implementing it effectively, measuring training effectiveness, and staying up to date on the latest trends in training development. Overall, HR technology is transforming employee training by providing personalized, flexible, and engaging learning experiences, benefiting both employees and businesses and closing the skills gap in the job market.
