In the management of human resources, in addition to contractual and labour rights issues, the training, certification and retraining of professionals must be taken into account.
The qualification of human resources is one of the greatest guarantees of business success. It is also important to keep workers motivated, trained and geared to their needs.
Vocational training
Companies should systematically diagnose the training needs of their employees in order to detect possible shortcomings at individual or collective level, which may be of a technical, aptitude or behavioural nature.
Upon the final diagnosis, they shall draw up training plans, identifying the specific objectives, the competences to be acquired and the appropriate profiles of the trainees per course. Timing is an important factor, as it must be articulated with work activity.
Professional certification
Professional certification means the issue of a certificate attesting to compliance with the educational and other requirements of each profession or, in the case of attendance at and completion of training courses, attesting to professional skills or the equivalent of professional qualifications.
