The Digital Skills Gap - Noticing the gap within your organisation.

Did you know that 69% of UK leaders believe their organisation has a digital skills gap, with 70% expecting to experience one in the next year?

When a business has been slow to adapt to change, committing to the significant overhaul required to move the company forward can be daunting.

At ATL we often hear statements like:

• "It works, why mess with it?"
• "The employees are used to it this way."
• "My top employee developed this method and knows it inside out. They wouldn't appreciate changing everything."

The primary issue our clients face revolves around the methods in place.

If for any reason your top employee were unable to attend work, would someone easily be able to take their place?

Or would their be a hefty learning curve and a lot of confusion to perform some of the most basic tasks the business needs to operate?

If this has got you thinking then you may need some digital skills development within your team.

Developing your teams understanding of how to use Microsoft Office to benefit your specific business needs and making sure every relevant employee has this training helps to future proof your business.

It can also help with:

• Avoid rocking adjustment periods
• Developing new skills within your business
• Improving employee efficiency
