👉Identifying Training Need (TNA)
Before organizing training program it’s essential to assess
the employee skill levels. An effective TNA will help to develop a successful training
program by identifying the employees competencies, knowledge level and abilities.
It also enables trainer or the organizer(HRM) to determine appropriate type of
trainings and necessary resources. There are three critical level of TNAs.
👉Designing an effective training program
Based on the findings of TNA, HRM designed the training
program while addressing the following key areas.
- Define
training objectives.
- HRM
established training objectives to address the knowledge, abilities and
skills(KAS) gaps identified in TNA. And it’s essential to align these
objectives with the company goals.
- Select
the most suitable training methods.
- HRM
determines the appropriate training methods by considering factors such
as audience, available resources and budget, the complexity of the
content, time constraints and accessibility. Some of the popular training
methods are e-learning, on-the-job, or virtual reality training. This can
be selected by either a trainer or HRM depending on the situation.
- Select
the Trainer
- HRM
should select qualified trainers for the program. The effectiveness of
the training will depend on the trainer's training skills. This can be
either internal, external or virtual trainers depending on the content of
the training.
- Develop
training content.

👉Implementing training program
After designing the training program HRM takes the lead in
implementing the training by facilitating all necessary resources for both the
trainer and the trainee. It’s important to monitor the progress of the training
program from start to end.
👉Evaluating training effectiveness
After the training is completed, it is important to ensure
the given training is successful and beneficial for both employees and the
organization. A well-structured evaluation program helps HRM to ensure that the
organization receives the expected benefits from the training. Gathering data
and calculating relevant KPIs before and after the training will provide a
clear assessment of the training program. If the results are positive then HRM
focuses on further improvements to enhance the training effectiveness. In case
of negative results, HRM will analyse what went wrong and take necessary
corrective actions to ensure more effective training in the future.
👉Emphasize employee development and sustainability of the knowledge acquired from the training programs.
Effective training will always upskill the employee's
knowledge, abilities and skills. After the training period, HRM ensures the
continuous career development of the employee by evolving both technical and
behavioral sides. With the good results of ROI evaluation, organizations offer
career development opportunities such as promotions which help to sustain the
acquired knowledge within the organization.
