Proskills launches a free online leadership and management tool

The SSC says that by using this tool, managers can gain a better understanding of their skills and highlight exactly where training is required. This offers a much more targeted approach to developing skills that match specific gaps as well as the goals and needs of the business, it believes. Proskills adds that should a company's skills management process highlight the need to recruit to fill any gaps in the workforce, it offers psychometric testing as an innovative way to measure behaviour, attitude and personality traits to assist with recruitment and team and individual development. But if it is just business information a manager needs, Proskills'iLead provides access to solutions for all business queries. Proskills Academy general manager Graeme Finch (pictured) explains: "Good leadership and management ensures that your staff and business continually performs and develops. Having the right skills available and improving workforce performance is critical to achieving business objectives.
