I am intending to introduce training for both managers & staff in our organization which is about 3 years old and we have about 64 employees. I would like to know how to go about it. I know that the first thing we need to do is assess the training needs. But what are the effective ways of doing that ? Would highly appreciate if somebody could help me with this.
Thanks, Z Rahman |

I recently did the same and found the following helpful. First, analyze the job descriptions and list key responsibilities, setting up training addressing those skills. Then, go to your Front-line Management and ask them what specific skills they would like to address, because we all do more than just what's in the job description. Cross-reference the lists, if you hadn't already when you met with mgmt, and prioritize the training from what is needed now to what is needed to advance.
Since, it would be difficult to speak with all your staff members you may want to send a quick survey for their input. Additionally, all training would have to be approved by management for staff. good luck |

Hello, Zahid --
I would suggest that you first put together a small task force (8-10) with manager, supervisor, and staff representatives. Clarify what you would like the group to do and facilitate their process. Provide resources (such as job descriptions, behavioral and leadership competencies if you have them in your organization)as they need. Use facilitation tools to identify important training topics, ideas regarding best scheduling, other parameters. Use their input to set up a pilot program at first, then evaluate its effectiveness. Be clear about the learning objectives, and how participants' new skills, knowledge and behavior will be measured. That's a very bare-bones approach to initiating training, but continue to research other training design approaches, check out 360-degree instruments, etc. etc. As a trainer, you will know adult learning components that need to be considered (don't expect the task force members to be able to help with design and implementation - usually they don't have enough background or knowledge about training to do that). You may also be able to identify internal resources, including HR staff/managers/ supervisors, who can be instructors. A good resource - www.managementhelp.org, a website that has tons of free articles on everything related to management and training. Good luck! |
