To stay updated on the knowledge and experience of your personnel, what should you regularly review?

Regularly reviewing training records is vital for understanding the knowledge and experience of your personnel. Training records provide a comprehensive overview of each individual's completed programs, skills acquired, certifications obtained, and any ongoing professional development efforts. This information forms the basis for assessing competencies and identifying areas where additional training may be needed, ultimately supporting career growth and mission readiness.

While performance evaluations also offer insights into individuals’ job performance, they typically reflect a particular timeframe and may not encompass all the training an individual has undergone. Department meeting notes might capture discussions and plans but lack the detailed information on personnel's qualifications. Project timelines focus more on task execution rather than the capabilities of team members. Therefore, training records are the most direct way to gauge the skills and knowledge base of your personnel, enabling appropriate development and resource allocation.
