Employee skills are very important because the skills and talents affect the way an organisation runs and also is a benefit for central rivers NHS trust. The Human resource department have to find the right candidate with the desirable skills that the organisation needs. In central rivers NHS trust we can identify them by looking at their qualifications, skills and experience. We can see them on training to identify what skills they have and what skills they need to improve on. Central rivers NHS trust have to acquire new skills for both employer and employee.
