new skill and developing career path so that organizational goals can be achieved. This
strategy is mainly used by organization so that it can teach them about advance technology that
has been implemented by the company in order to make their work smooth. Moreover, the main
reason for skill development is to increase the knowledge of employees as well as to develop
new abilities so that it can give quality services to customer. In addition to this, it helps in

department analysis them skill of employees by conducting skill audit in order to identify their
strength and weakness (Laragy and Vasiliadis, 2020). The HR should hire top talented
employees so that it will motivate other peers to work hard and to improve their performance.
It will also contribute in building positive working environment that will result in increasing
overall growth of company. So if organization conduct skill development programme that helps
in reducing the risk of losing the workers and allow them to take responsibility of task given to
them. It also helps in succession planing that helps in creating future leader by investing in
personal and professional growth with the use of talent management. Along with r this,

company can make use of techniques and strategy that will help in developing the skill of
employees (Jakubowski and et.al., 2021). Although career growth motivates employees to work
hard and clear and define goals contributes in developing their personality. The another

The another method of enhancing the skill is to conduct general and interactive meeting

employees can build comfortable. The another method is coaching and mentoring that will
help in guiding employees for developing career method (Holloway and Long, 2019).
Although working with seniors will allow subordinate to learn new skills to tackle threats and
employees can enhance their knowledge. Interacting with team will create an accommodative
and diverse work environment. Organization can evaluate employee interest, ask question,
organize group, tea discussion will encourage staff participation and to strengthen their
expertise in multiple job roles. Moreover, organization should take feedback from the worker
so that it can give their opinion on sharing and reviewing the strategy or methods that has
been used by employees. In addition to this, it will also help in identifying the area of
development and eliminating threat or loop holes in skill development program. Thus, it will
also contribute in adding new development programme in career path of the workers. It can
also make use of performance review as it helps workers in understanding the direction of
their efforts and to know about the desired results.
Although it needs to be organized on the basis of monthly and quarterly meeting so that
each employee can discuss their performance report. Thus, skill development helps
organization in building their career so that skill gap among worker and also contributes in
achieving organizational and personal goods. Along with this, company should take a personal
interest in employee career growth goals (Changwong, Sukkamart and Sisan, 2018). If HR is
managing remote team then it is important to communicate with frequently with the workers.

The one-to-one interaction will allow workers to share the issue faced by them as well as
make appropriate career plan. Although manager support can help staff feel valued and lead
to greater productivity and loyalty.
Along with this, if company have talented employee that will find innovative idea to
deal with the threat. It will also contribute in building positive development in workplace
environment. In addition to this, it also develops staff such as employees have their own career
goals in order to reach their potential (Assenza, 2021). So if company provide them with skill

responsibility of the task slotted to them. In addition to this, skill development programme
helps in succession planning such as it helps in creating the future leader by investing in
personal and professional growth with the use of talent management
