Abstract
Presents advice to help businesses maximise the contribution of their employees in the workplace. Draws on the experience of skills and workforce development initiatives in Australia. Describes skills utilisation and explains its importance. Highlights challenges with skills utilisation, commenting on the need to establish a clear link between workforce development and business development, difficulties with getting employers to focus on organisational development, a lack of awareness among employers of employee skills which could be better used to meet business requirements, the need to motivate employees to use their skills, and the need for companies to adapt their culture and practices. Suggests that knowing and responding to these challenges can help to identify how employers can implement better use of their employees’ skills. Concludes that to promote better skills utilisation, organisations need to: develop the right leadership, management, culture and values; have good communication, consultation and collaboration within the organisation; and have good HR practices.
