How Can We Gauge Our Organization's Appetite for Learning and Training Effectively?

Hi Team, I'm looking for a questionnaire that assesses the "Learning/Getting Trained Appetite" of an organization. It could have broad categories:

1. Knowledge of training programs by the people of the organization.
2. Connection that they see between the training programs and their growth.
3. Quality of the training programs.

Possible questions that some/all these categories can have:

1. What linkage do you see in learning and getting staffed on a project?
2. Do you know the various training programs that 'X' organization offers?
3. Do you think you have the training programs that will help you achieve the objectives you have outlined?
4. Do you think that the contents of the training programs can be applied at work?

Regards,

Answers to your query are mentioned below:

Learning/Getting Trained Appetite of an Organization

“Learning/getting trained appetite” of an organization could have broad categories:

• Knowledge of training programs by the people of the organization. There are a few people who seek training for knowledge upgradation purposes, some look to obtain professional certifications, and a few view it as simply a day off from work. Trainings basically need to be aligned with the business functions, and accordingly, Technical and Behavioral Trainings need to be organized within the organization.

• The connection that they see between the training programs and their growth. Point one refers to this question.

• Quality of the training programs. Quality depends on the Trainer, the course content, the methodology used, and the assessment center techniques used to map the brain potential of an individual.

Possible Questions for Training Program Evaluation

Possible questions that some/all of these categories can have:

1. What linkage do you see between learning and being assigned to a project? Firstly, as an organization, we need to ask what/why/when the training programs need to be conducted and then on whom and why. This will help us analyze whether it is a fruitful investment or a dead investment.

2. Are you aware of the various training programs that 'X' organization offers? Training programs differ from company to company; common programs followed are soft skills and behavioral training programs.

3. Do you think the training programs provided will help you achieve the outlined objectives? It depends on your ROI measurement of the trainer and the parameters set by the organization.

4. Do you believe that the contents of the training programs can be applied at work? Any functional training needs to align with the work function. When it comes to behavioral trainings, they are common in most organizations; only the modules might differ.
