ASSESSMENT
11
Only those who need training will attend the training program
Compare this with a situation where training needs analysis was
REASONS FOR not done, and the manager sends everyone to the training
program
CONDUCTING
These people will not take the training seriously, and distract the
NEEDS people who actually need it
ASSESSMENT By doing a training needs assessment, you are ensuring that
training is given on the KSA’s which are actually lacking (and not
irrelevant KSA)
13
Organization Analysis
An examination of the environment, strategies, and
resources of the organization and management
support, to determine where training emphasis
should be placed.
Task Analysis

The process of determining what the content of a
ASSESSMENT training program should be on the basis of a study of
the tasks and duties involved in the job – importance,
frequency and difficulty.
Person Analysis
A determination of the specific individuals who need
training.

Measuring program effectiveness
27
The simplest and most common approach to training
evaluation is assessing trainees.
Potential questions might include the following:
What were your learning goals for this program?
Did you achieve them?
Criterion 1: Did you like this program?
reactions Would you recommend it to others who have similar
learning goals?
What suggestions do you have for improving the program?
Should the organization continue to offer it?
28
Checking to see whether they actually learned anything.
Pre-test and post-test
Testing knowledge and skills before beginning a
training program gives a baseline standard on
Criterion 2: trainees that can be measured again after training to
learning determine improvement.
However, in addition to testing trainees, test
employees who did not attend the training to
estimate the differential effect of the training.
29
Transfer of Training
Learning translates into lasting behavioral change
Effective application of principles learned to what is
required on the job.
Eg. Accident prevention program – reduce the
Criterion 3: number and severity of accident
behavior Maximizing the Transfer of Training
1. Feature identical elements
2. Focus on general principles
3. Establish a climate for transfer.
4. Give employees transfer strategies
30
Measuring the Utility of Training Programs
Calculating the benefits derived from training:
Criterion 4: How much did quality improve because of the
training program?
Results, or How much has it contributed to profits?
Return on What reduction in turnover and wasted materials
Investment did the company get after training?
(ROI) How much has productivity increased and by how
much have costs been reduced?
31
Return on Investment
Viewing training in terms of the extent to which it
provides knowledge and skills that create a
Criterion 4: competitive advantage and a culture that is ready for
Results, or continuous change.
Return on ROI = Results/Training Costs
If the ROI ratio is >1, the benefits of the training
Investment exceed the cost of the program
(ROI) If the ROI ratio is <1, the costs of the training
exceed the benefits.
32
Benchmarking
The process of measuring one’s own services and
practices against the recognized leaders in order to
Criterion 4: identify areas for improvement.
Training activity: How much training is occurring?
Results Training results: Do training and development
(cont.) achieve their goals?
Training efficiency: Are resources utilized in the
pursuit of this mission?
34
Deming’s Benchmarking Model
1. Plan: conduct a self-audit to identify areas for
Criterion 4: benchmarking.
2. Do: collect data about activities.
Results 3. Check: Analyze data.
(cont.) 4. Act: Establish goals, implement changes,
monitor progress, and redefine benchmarks.

ORIENTATION AND BASIC
SKILLS TRAINING
37
Organization-wide training programs
Diversity training
7–38
A formal process of familiarizing new employees with the
organization, their jobs, and their work units.
Information – benefits, HR policies, company operation, safety
regulations, tour of companies’ facilities
Short, informal to lengthy and formal courses
Benefits:
ORIENTATION 1. Lower turnover
2. Increased productivity
3. Improved employee morale
4. Lower recruiting and training costs
5. Facilitation of learning
6. Reduction of the new employee’s anxiety
39
Employee orientation is an entry level training
designed to prepare employees to perform their jobs
effectively, learn about their organization and establish
work relationship.
Information delivered during an organization
orientation:
Company history.
ORIENTATION An outline of training.
(CONTD.) Expectations for attendance, conduct, and
appearance.
The conditions of employment such as hours,
pay periods.
Explanations of job duties, standard and
appraisal criteria.
Safety regulations.
40
The process of systematically socializing new employees
to help them get “on board” with an organization.
On-boarding goes beyond just orienting new employees
to their new environments. It brings them into the
ON- organization’s fold so that they truly feel as if they are a
BOARDING part of it.
This is important because new hires are at a high risk of
quitting.
42
Basic Skills Training
Basic skills have become essential occupational
qualifications, having profound implications for
product quality, customer service, internal
efficiency, and workplace and environmental
safety.
BASIC SKILL
TRAINING Typical basic skills:
Reading, writing, computing, speaking,
listening, problem solving, managing oneself,
knowing how to learn, working as part of a
team, leading others.
43
Team Training Issues
1. Team building is a difficult and comprehensive
process.
2. Team development is not always a linear
sequence of “forming, storming, norming, and
TEAM performing.”
TRAINING 3. Additional training is required to assimilate new
members.
4. Behavioral and process skills need to be
acquired through participative exercises.
45
The process of training employees to do
multiple jobs within an organization
Gives firms flexible capacity.
Cuts turnover
46
Environment which support organizational
goals and personal growth
Access to jobs and fair and positive
treatments to all employees
Attitude and behaviors that support the

Avoid and correct behaviors
47
Types of Diversity Training
Awareness building
Helps employees appreciate the benefits
DIVERSITY of diversity
TRAINING Skill building: Provides employees with the
(CONTD.) KSAs necessary for working with people
who are different from them.

The use of case studies is most appropriate when:
1. Analytic, problem-solving, and critical thinking
skills are most important.
2. The KSAs are complex and participants need
time to master them.
Case Studies 3. Active participation is desired.
4. The process of learning (questioning,
interpreting, and so on) is as important as the
content.
5. Team problem solving and interaction are
possible.
64
Successful role play requires that instructors:
Ensure that group members are comfortable
with each other.
Select and prepare the role players by
introducing a specific situation.
To help participants prepare, ask them to
describe potential characters.
Role Playing Realize that volunteers make better role

Tuition Assistance Programs
About half of all large corporations offer their
employees tuition assistance if they take
courses related to the firms’ businesses.
Corporate Universities

Technical Programme (SATP), a newly launched programme is a
structured development programme for experienced technical
professional. The SATP is designed for all employees and is
particularly beneficial to the female technical employees to
further develop and advance their careers in Shell. Due to the
shortage of highly experienced female engineers in the labour
market, especially in the oil and gas industry, there is a stronger
need for education, retention and development of this technical
talent pool. Shell recognises the importance of developing these
