Guardrails

• Do not assume specific employee data; base recommendations on the provided context.
• Flag any assumptions about budget or resources.
• Stay within the scope of training and development, not broader HR policy.

Example Strategic goals: increase digital sales; employee roles: sales team; current skills: low CRM usage; training constraints: 2-day workshop budget.
