Abstract

A method and system for planning of employee training based on the current skill possession status of the company and the company strategy is provided. A company evaluation value concerning the number of employees in the company who have a skill equal to or higher than a predetermined level in a field selected by the company is compared with a reference evaluation value in the selected field. Upon the company evaluation value being lower than the reference evaluation value, a number of employees needed to have a skill equal to or greater than the predetermed level, in order to make the company evaluation value equal to or greater than the reference evaluation value is calculated. Thus, it is possible to comprehend the needs of employee training in accordance with actual status of the company and the company strategy.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method used in a planning of an employee training in a company, said method comprising:

comparing, with a computer, a company evaluation value determined based on a number of employees in said company who have a skill equal to or higher than a predetermined level in a field selected by said company with a reference evaluation value of said company evaluation value in the selected field;

upon said company evaluation value being less than said reference evaluation value, calculating, with a computer, a number of employees who need to have a skill equal to or higher than said predetermined level in order to make said company evaluation value equal to or higher than said reference evaluation value, and storing said number of employees in a computer data storage; and

extracting a training applicable candidate based on said number of employees who need to have a skill equal to or higher than said predetermined level in order to make said company evaluation value equal to or higher than said reference evaluation value.

2. The computer-implemented method set forth in claim 1, wherein said extracting a training applicable candidate comprises extracting a training applicable candidate from employees who have a skill less than said predetermined level and close to said predetermined level.

3. A storage medium for storing a program executable by a computer used in a planning of an employee training in a company, said program comprising:

comparing a company evaluation value determined based on a number of employees in said company who have a skill equal to or higher than a predetermined level in a field selected by said company with a reference evaluation value of said company evaluation value in the selected field;

upon said company evaluation value being less than said reference evaluation value, calculating a number of employees who need to have a skill equal to or higher than said predetermined level in order to make said company evaluation value equal to or higher than said reference evaluation value; and

extracting a training applicable candidate based on said number of employees who need to have a skill equal to or higher than said predetermined level in order to make said company evaluation value equal to or higher than said reference evaluation value.

4. The storage medium set forth in claim 3, wherein said extracting a training applicable candidate comprises extracting a training applicable candidate from employees who have a skill less than said predetermined level and close to said predetermined level.

5. A system used in a planning of an employee training in a company, comprising:

a unit that compares a company evaluation value determined based on a number of employees in said company who have a skill equal to or higher than a predetermined level in a field selected by said company with a reference evaluation value of said company evaluation value in the selected field;

a unit that calculates a number of employees who need to have a skill equal to or higher than said predetermined level in order to make said company evaluation value equal to or higher than said reference evaluation value if said company evaluation value is less than said reference evaluation value; and

an extracting unit that extracts a training applicable candidate based on said number of employees who need to have a skill equal to or higher than said predetermined level in order to make said company evaluation value equal to or higher than said reference evaluation value.

6. The system set forth in claim 5, wherein said extracting unit extracts a training applicable candidate from employees who have a skill lower than said predetermined level and close to said predetermined level.
