Training and Development an Income Generator for Organisations via the Annual Workplace Skills Plan (WSP )
By merely complying with the legislation and submitting your organisation’s Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) you can claim back funds spent towards training in your organisation. However, the Workplace Skills Plan can and should also be utilised to your organisation’s benefit to ensure return on training investment and value add.
Our expertise in this field of People Effectiveness and Skills Development has repeatedly shown that development work undertaken with any workforce is the one differentiating factor between mediocrity and excellence of organisations that prosper over the long term, ensuring sustainability.
Our Leadership and People Consulting Business Unit at Bytes People Solutions enables clients to strategically position their approach to Skills Development and ultimately empowering their organisations to close the skills gap and achieve a competitive edge in the market.
Our Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) offerings include:
- Designing and implementing a Competency Based Management System, where all employees are assessed against a competency profile which outlines the outcomes and assessment criteria of the jobs.
- Setting up a Skills Development Forum with an appointed Skills Development Facilitator. This ensures that more employees have a greater say in what they will learn and are more accountable for self development and life long learning. The Skills Development Forum has the responsibility to review and amend the Human Capital Strategy, Education and Training policies and procedures and ensure the effective implementation thereof.
- Crafting Workplace Skills Plans (WSP) in compilation with the individual business units’ plans. The rational for this is that each business unit usually has different strategies and hence different skills requirements.
- Compiling and submitting the annual WSP and ATR Statutory Reports to the SETA’s.
- Implementing a quality management system to ensure the quality of the ETD efforts in your organisation.
- Relating Employment Equity goals to the Skills Development Plan. While Employment Equity focuses on increasing the training provided to previously disadvantages groups, the Workplace Skills Plan has to take cognisance of the fact that the organisation has to train staff in proportion to the existing employee population in order to meet its business requirements.
