Involving your existing employees in a Skill Recognition Program either prior to or simultaneously with new staff has many benefits; an objective skills audit of your existing workers is painless and allows both the worker and the company to consider career path development. There are also morale benefits of being formally recognised as highly skilled or being offered the opportunity to gain a trade equivalent qualification.
