Homework: Training Method
The purpose of this homework is to provide executive management the justification for providing the recommended training to employees and receive approval to proceed.
Management will need to know the following
• Why is the training required? This is determined through a needs analysis.
• Who requires the training. Which employees? How many employees?
• What is the cost of the training? Take into account the time required to create the training and training materials, the cost of the trainer, the time of the employees attending the training, the cost of the venue if the training is done off-site, refreshments or meals, etc.
• Is the training required by law?
• What is the payback on the training (ROI)? Will there be an improvement in quality, productivity, etc?
