The Role of Data in Workforce Development: How to Make Better Decisions

Why is data so important in personnel development?

Data-based personnel development means no longer making decisions based on gut feeling, but on a sound basis. This offers numerous advantages:

• Transparency: You will receive a clear overview of the competencies, development levels and potential of your employees.
  
• Efficiency: You can plan targeted measures that are really needed – and avoid wastage.
  
• Sustainability: You measure the success of your personal development measures and can continuously optimize them.
  
• Competitive advantage: They identify trends and the need for action at an early stage and can react proactively.

What data is relevant in personnel development?

Various data sources and types are crucial for successful data-based personnel development:

• Competence profiles: What skills and knowledge do your employees bring to the table?
• Learning progress: How do employees develop in the context of further training?
• Feedback and employee surveys: How are measures perceived? Where is there room for improvement?
• Performance data: How do development measures affect performance?
• Target agreements and target achievement: Are individual and company-wide goals being achieved?
