Identify strengths

What are your employees good at? Not all development training needs to be in areas where their skills are lacking. If an employee is often late to work or take longer breaks but is fantastic at their job, you could mould their strengths to indirectly lift their weaknesses, or come to a compromise.

Identifying your team's strengths can give you insight into how well your team's skills are utilised, too. You could come to find that you haven't been maximising their values according to their best skill sets. For example, if your social media manager makes a lot of spelling mistakes in their posts but is amazing at creating beautiful graphics, could you come to a solution that accentuates their graphic skills?
