Identifying Skills Gaps Across Teams: A Practical Approach for Organizations

By Becky Anzalone

Every organization experiences skills gaps—it’s a natural result of evolving technology, growing teams, and changing priorities. The key isn’t eliminating gaps entirely but identifying and addressing them before they impact productivity. January is an ideal time to take a closer look at where teams may need additional support.

Look at Day-to-Day Challenges

Skills gaps often show up in subtle ways:

• Processes take longer than they should
• Employees rely heavily on a few “go-to” experts
• Tools are underutilized or inconsistently used
• Errors increase during busy periods

These issues often point to training needs that cut across departments, such as data literacy, collaboration tools, or foundational technical skills.

Prioritize High-Impact Training

Engage Managers in the Process

Turn Insights into Action

Once gaps are identified, organizations need training solutions that are flexible and scalable. TCW works with organizations to deliver group training, on-demand options, and instructor-led classes that address real-world challenges. Courses in Microsoft Office, Data Analytics, and Business & Soft Skills are frequently used as building blocks for organization-wide improvement. Addressing skills gaps doesn’t require a massive overhaul—just a clear understanding of where training can make the biggest difference.
