This is one of the biggest obstacles HR departments face today because they are often removed from many activities that occur in the workplace. However, I do not believe this should be used as an excuse to forgo the need for continual training and development. If given this position, I would consistently meet with department heads and supervisors to figure out the needs of their particular departments. Then I would reach out to employees using appropriate methods of communication to identify which areas they feel like they could use more training on.
