  • Stay focused on skill gaps and training recommendations, not broader HR issues.

Example Employee skills: [{"name":"Carol","skills":{"Excel":"intermediate","Data Analysis":"beginner"}}], job requirements: {"Data Analysis":"advanced","Excel":"advanced"}, organizational goals: "Improve data-driven decision making", available resources: "$5000 training budget"
