The success of any organization hinges on the capabilities of its workforce. In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and shifting industry demands, organizations face a growing challenge: bridging the skill gap to enhance workforce performance. A skill gap refers to the discrepancy between the skills employees currently possess and those required to meet organizational goals effectively. Addressing this gap is critical for maintaining competitiveness, fostering innovation, and achieving strategic objectives. This study explores the assessment of skill gaps within organizations as a means to enhance workforce performance. By conducting a comprehensive skills gap analysis, organizations can identify deficiencies in both hard and soft skills, enabling targeted interventions such as upskilling, reskilling, and strategic hiring. The research focuses on IT employees in Coimbatore City, using a mixed-method approach involving surveys and secondary data. Findings suggest a clear need for skill development initiatives in areas like data analytics and cybersecurity and highlight the importance of hybrid learning models and generational collaboration for optimal workforce performance.
