Question

How does one plan training for an organization?


Answer
  1. Needs Assessment
    • Organizational, departmental, team, individual
  2. Ensuring Employees...
    • Readiness for training (e.g., do they need certain other skills first?)
    • Attitudes and motivation (often problematic)
  3. Selecting Training Methods
    • For example: virtual vs. on-site, team vs. individual, with or w/o human interaction (depended on what has to be learned)
  4. Creating a Learning Environment
    • Define learning objectives and training outcomes
    • Establish psychological safety (No consquences for the job)
    • Practice and feedback
  5. Ensure Transfer of Training (-> Use new competencies in the job)
    • Plans and goals for transfer
    • Organizational, supervisor, peer, technological support (special tasks that they learned in training)
  6. Evaluate Training
    • Before-after status (what is the benefit?)
    • Cost-benefit analysis (are the tasks working better?)
