Organizational objectives
i. The first step in the training process in an organization is the
assessment of its objectives and strategies.
ii. What business are we in?
iii. At what level of quality do we wish to provide this product or
service?
iv. Where do we want to be in the future?
v. It is only after answering these related questions that the organization
must assess the strengths and weaknesses of its human resources.11
Designing Training Programs and Manuals: This step establishes the
designing & development of current job descriptions and standards and
procedures. Job descriptions should be clear and concise and may serve
as a major training tool for the identification of guidelines.
Every training and development programme must address certain vital
issues:
• Who participates in the programme?
• Who are the trainers?
• What methods and techniques are to be used for training?
• What should be the level of training?
• What learning principles are needed?
• Where is the program conducted?

Assessment of Training needs: Needs assessment diagnosis present
problems and future challenges to be met through training and
development? Organizations spend vast sums of money (usually as a
percentage on turnover) on training and development.
The objective in establishing a needs analysis / or need assessment is to
find out the answers to the following questions:
• “Why” is training needed?
• “What” type of training is needed?
• “When” is the training needed?
• “Where” is the training needed?
• “Who” needs the training? And "Who" will conduct the training?
• “How” will the training be performed?
13
Deliver The Training Program: This step is responsible for the
instruction and delivery of the training program. Once you have
designated your trainers, the training technique must be decided.
The trainer should have:
• A desire to teach the subject being taught.
• A working knowledge of the subject being taught.
• An ability to motivate participants to “want” to learn.
• A good sense of humor.
• A dynamic appearance and good posture.
