“According to the largest
percentage of individuals responding to the same survey, annual
targeted training time for both managers and staff falls into
range of 21-41 hours, or little more than one-half hour per week.
… But just sending an employee for one-size-fits-all training
isn’t enough. A smart manager will perform a skills gap analysis
to discover what kind of training the individual needs as well as
which skills are weal across the help desk as a whole. ”
