I recently got promoted as the training manager of a medium sized company. And have little training experience. The department that I am in is the client relations center.
I do not know where to start, I have a lot of idea, but nothing concrete. I'd like to know how to get the ball rolling, where to start and what to do. Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

You can start by creating a vision for one year viz-a-viz your KRAs. I hope you have been given your KRAs and you are clear about them.
The next step could be to make SOPs for all the processes and set metrics for all the activities.

I have not been given any.
I have started that along with other projects. There is literally no guideline regarding the needs of the company. The company is expanding fast and into different territory and clear targets has not been set.
Is there anything you could recommend. Or anyone here?

hi,
Then you have to start from the scratch, first you adopt a PMS and then you start the T & D procedures as usual. This is the right time to set up the new systems since your concern is the growing stage.

Hi Gayathry_depalley and Jekavitha,
Thank you for your support and advice.
I've done the following:
a. Spoke to the managers to get a clear objective for the TD.
b. Will stop conducting training for training sake.
c. Will start reviewing employees performance and knowledge.
Is there an important step I am missing?

1. Do a TNA, float a questinnaire
2. review last years appraisal
3. Have discussions with HoDs, take their feedback on programs
4. Study your Orgn Competencies, Vision n Value statements and design your program modules
5. Create a mid year budget, as of now and get it approved by CEO
6. Once approved, identify most suitable internal / external trainers

Nm2000_in has replied aptly.
I would add that training & Development is very important however it is effective only when the RoI is measured. You should incorporate evaluation after training by HoD as to improvemnt observed in working, obtain training report from attendee upon training completion and most effective as per my experience is to make the employee conduct internal seminars to other relevant employees on the same subject - this ensures effective utilisation of training budget as also wide spreads the knowledge. Also, employee's understanding of the training, communication skills and confidence to speak in front of audience can also be evaluated.

All good advice guys in a nut shell

First thing you need to do is a ‘’Training Needs Analysis’’

Carry out an evaluation of the training requirement of your company remembering to use the Training Cycle

1. Identified your training needs

2. Design & Development of the Training Programmes

3. Delivery of Training

4. Evaluation

Use evaluation to Identified your training needs gaps to improve in your training programme.



Then start from the beginning of the Training Cycle > Identified your training needs> Design & Development of the Training Programme> Delivery of Training> Evaluation keep going round and round the Training Cycle .

Your job as training manager is to manage the Training Cycle keep improving and up dating and developing you company and staff.

Use Kirkpatrick Training Evaluation Method Levels 1 to 4 and 5

Kirkpatrick Training Evaluation Method
Probably the most well known framework for classifying areas of evaluation is the tried and tested four-level model developed by Donald Kirkpatrick and is arguably the most widely used approach in the training evaluation arena today.
Kirkpatrick’s model provides a conceptual framework to assist to assist in determining what data should be collected for the evaluation purposes. This data collection and evaluation process must be planned as part of the design and development segment of lesson preparation. Otherwise, it is possible to miss an opportunity to collect data which is needed for evaluation process.
