TALENT DEVELOPMENT

Great to see so many member companies engaging with us over the past few months. As the country opens back up to full potential we need to look towards our employees, ensuring they have the correct training for the roles they are carrying out.

A focus for a lot of companies is on the digital skills, making sure all employees are upskilled in Excel, Word, Outlook and looking towards Sharepoint and Computer Aided design packages to ensure we are working in a sustainable way using what many of us found as new territory in Covid times, using the cloud and Microsoft 365 as the main medium of communication for the hybrid working arrangement. Companies are investing in talent development with People Management programmes, Project Management, Supervisory and management training to ensure their growing employee numbers have been given the correct training for them to deliver in their intended roles. As we grow again through 2022, we will see many employees promoted to new roles based on the knowledge they have gained over previous years employment. Often overlooked is the requirement to provide them with the new skills they will need to deliver in their new role.

In 2022, we will focus on delivering talent development to meet the following challenges that we face over the coming years:

• Digital acceleration

• Business sustainability and climate action

• Workforce innovation

• SME Leadership

• Supporting foreign direct investment in Ireland

Fingal Chamber Skillnet have developed, with Adare Human Resource Management, a HR forum where all HR professionals from our member companies are invited to come along and discuss the most pressing Hr issues and assist each other in finding suitable solutions. Our next meeting is 7th April 2022. Further details on fingalchamber.ie/events.

The network, together with our member companies have recently completed our submission for the Revitalising Business: Driving Business Growth in Ireland’s Post-Brexit Economy programme led by Skillnet Ireland and supported by the EU Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR). We look forward to receiving confirmation of this programme and to bringing it to all our members from May 2022.

As always, we welcome your enquiries on participation on any of our courses or enquiry on delivering a course for your employees.
