I am associated with a reputed 100 beded multispeciality hospital at NAGPUR. Please kindly reply the following.
How have you arrived at the training needs of the hospital staff? If it is your just observations that x employees needs to be trained, it may be wrong. Similarly were employees made aware on the availability of training scheme in your establishment and the advantages of undegoing training., Did some of the employees complained that they need short of particular skill. If so, whether this has been taken into consideration while deciding the trg. program.
See employees will like to attend trg, program only when they find that such trg. program is bound to help them to improve their skills.(which they were lacking). Similarly employees have a common querry in mind that whether such trg. is going to improve their monetory package. Another fear persist in such employees that by undergoing typical trg. their workload will increase. The management is trying to turn them into multi-tasking employee. Hence, it is necessary first to impress upon the employees how the trg. will help them to grow, how they receive applause from the relatives of patients / consulting doctors/professionals about services rendered by them, how they are improving their market-worth.
another very coomon factor found in hospitals is that there are no separate trg. hrs fixed for trg. Employee their duty in X Shift and then they are asked to attend trg, in next shift or they are called for trg. on their weekly off day. This also another reaon for resistance. You will have to adjust their timing in such a way that neither the hospitals or their own time is wasted. If the trg. is on weekly off day, it is better to subsidize petrol expenses by a fixed amount like Rs. 35 or 50. Thus this doesn' pinch them.
My other collegues have rightly put their opinions. Consider all of them and act. Even then their is resistance you may contact me at [Login to view] or 9372638920. regards
