Monitor utilization to ensure the use of required skills.
Having identified skills gaps and promoted relevant training, you’ll need to ensure that training is being completed. Track usage of specific courses in Watershed.
Overall utilization data can also help identify new in-demand skills to track. For example, if your people are suddenly learning about a new technology, that may indicate an increased demand for that skill in your organization.
Track completions to ensure learners have completed required skills training.
One way to address technology skills gaps is to assign skill-specific training to your people. And then use Watershed’s program report to track who has not completed the required training.
Integrate HRIS data to monitor skills proficiency by department and job role.
Bring your Pluralsight data together with HRIS data in Watershed to keep track of tech skills and learning across the organization. This means you can:
- Filter reports to specific job roles or teams to inform tailored training recommendations.
- Compare job roles or teams to map out where skills exist in the organization.
- Ensure managers have permission to view data about only their people to comply with relevant data protection laws and best practices.
