TRAINING PROCESS
TRAINING PROCESS
1. Analyzing strategic training needs
• An analysis of needs may be conducted by interviewing line managers, frontline service employees or
customers.
• Observing the behavior of frontline employees and on that basis performing a gap analysis is also a good
alternative.
• Listing tasks that new employees need to learn.
• To best optimize the value of the program, it is important to align these needs with the organization’s
strategic goals.
• Listing supplies, workspace and equipment necessary for learning on each task
2. Design and development of training program
• Once the needs have been identified, measurable objectives are set.
• These should include desired behavioral changes as well as the desired organizational impact.
• Once these are in place, the training program is designed and developed.
3. Delivery and implementation of training program
• Effective training includes pre-training motivation for the course, a follow-up process with feedback
on behavioral changes,
• Involvement of customers and line managers in anchoring the training, and identification and removal
of barriers to implementation of new behavior.
• The elements which are outside the actual course itself are more than 60 per cent of the success of
any training program.
4. Measure and evaluate training outcomes
• Measuring, tracking and evaluating the training program are key components in effective training
program.
• Collecting base-line data before the beginning of the training
• Immediate assignments and taking performance feedback
• Periodically review employee competence with each task
• As part of an evaluation, you can then ask questions such as: Was the training effective? Did it change the
behavior, improve the service value or any of the other strategic needs it intended? Which parts of the training
were effective, and which were not?
EVALUATING THE
TRAINING
EFFECTIVENESS

the effectiveness of a
training program through
proper evaluation.

team, you need to know how effective
it's been.
