Question

At the end of Avondale Industries’ fiscal year, the training and development office reviewed its budget and found that, due to the cancellation of two training programs, there were still funds left to spend. With just two weeks in which to spend the money, the training director put together a program to train employees who were transferring from the avionics division to the new adhesives and sealants division. The training was held but there was not enough time to consult with managers in the adhesives and sealants division to set learning objectives for the skills needed in the new division. A month later, the training director was asked to provide another training as the employees did not have the knowledge, skills, and abilities for their new jobs. Why is it important that a thorough analysis of training needs be conducted prior to holding a training program?

 

 

  • Understanding the needs of the new division will help supervisors identify which employees need the training the most.
  •  
    Aligning training with anticipated capabilities needed in the new division will help the company achieve its organizational goals.
  •  
    A thorough analysis of training needs should be conducted first so that supervisors can provide input and receive recognition for their contribution to the training.
  •  
    Analyzing the needs of the new division prior to offering training will allow the company to better utilize its human resources as well as understand financial implications.
