Create a digital skills plan

Prioritise digital skills in your staff training and recruitment plans. The British Institute of Recruiters suggests that companies should focus on three main areas – analysing the current situation, developing the existing workforce, and attracting outside talent. Start by analysing the current skill set of employees in order identify any necessary training.

Next, set about creating development plans for each member of staff that includes up-skilling, nurturing and building on existing digital interest or talent. Finally, you need to measure and evaluate progress of the digital plan by keeping on top of the rapid changes in technology and monitoring success of actions taken within the company.
