Require basic computer literacy as a condition of employment. A standard pre-employment screening test would weed out the biggest idiots. Don't make it a deal-breaker; instead, offer training courses to otherwise-qualified applicants. Immediately, and on an ongoing (annual?) basis, perform an "IT-IQ" audit of all employees, top to bottom. Use the audit results to identify areas where [re-]training is in order. Implement employee training. 90 days later, re-audit, and use the results to measure improvement or target further training needs. Areas to focus on include basic computer operations, communications, security, just to name a few.
