Introduction

Organisation knows that training is an important investment in the performance of your staff and their contribution to the business strategies and goals. Yet many a time, they are unable to know the impact of training in these two areas. In order to make the most of money spent on training, it is important to be clear about the objectives of training, the training needs of their organisations and their employees and how training has impacted on staff performance and business results.

In this workshop, we will show and teach you how to identify learning needs of your organisation, the task as well as at individual levels. You will learn how to translate the process into a training document for individual and for the organisation. Then we will assist you, as Human Resource Develop Professionals, to evaluate the contribution of training to employee development and business results.
