You must first,conduct the TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS[ T N A]

for all your staff.

Based on the TNA, you / your immediate supervisor

-identify the programs [ subject/contents]

-also the priority [ what is critical /what is urgent/what is important]

YOU/YOUR IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR should discuss with

the departmental heads the priority , as they see it.

================================================== ================

when selecting the modules, four things to remember

-TARGET AUDIENCE

-PRIORITY REQUIREMENTS

-WHICH ONE WILL CREATE GREATER BUSINESS IMPACT

IN THE SHORT TERM.

-BUDGET

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUDGET

When it comes to budget--spending on training/development

-it will be never sufficient.

-there will be always some constraint.

-in spite of management desire/ great interest in training/development,

when it comes to releasing budget, it will be hard to come.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SO WHEN YOU PRESENT YOUR PROPOSAL GO WITH

A MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM BUDGET / PROGRAMS.

*what will be conducted / business impact on minimum budget.

*what will be conducted / business impact on maximum budget.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from the needs/ requirements, another way the management

looks at the spending on training budget is % of sales.

when you complete the mini / maxi budget, check with your

company annual sales budget.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a guideline for the selection of programs,

apart from the priority list based on TNA, you will see that

the people who could make the best use of training/development

and create impact on the business are

-the middle management

*regional sales managers

*production managers

*warehousing manager

*planning manager

*purchase manager

*procurement manager

*supply manager

*supply chain manager

*administration manager

etc etc

....................................

-first line managers / supervisors

*foremen

*warehouse supervisor

*office supervisor

PLUS

the frontline staff.

*sales reps

*customer service staff

etc etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-estimate the program time for each program

-estimate the no of time each program has to be run

-estimate the total no. of hours all together

-estimate who is going to do it [ take logistics into consideration]

-how many / what programs / when/where.
