Assessing Training Needs
The first step in developing a training plan is to determine
what needs exist. For example, if employees do not know how to operate the machinery
necessary to do their job, a training program on how to operate the machinery is clearly
needed. On the other hand, when a group of office workers is performing poorly, training
may not be the answer. The problem could be motivation, aging equipment, poor supervi-
sion, inefficient work design, or a deficiency of skills and knowledge. Only the last could be
remedied by training. As training programs are being developed, the manager should set
specific and measurable goals specifying what participants are to learn. The manager should
also plan to evaluate the training program after employees complete it.
