Dear Seniors, Kindly let me know what type of trainings can be given to Managers and salespersons in an automobile manufacturing company. Regards, Sonam
Sonam, Never resort to conducting training programs on an ad hoc basis. Most participants would deem it as a paid day off from work since they would not be keen to learn something that is not of their interest. Firstly, please conduct a training needs identification. You could possibly create a small questionnaire and ask each one of the employees to state what training program they believe is necessary for them to further add value to the organization and themselves. Ask them whether someone internal could train them on the said topic, or whether they know of an agency who could train them effectively on this topic, or whether it's fine for the company to choose a trainer from their list of trainers.
Believe me, you will find the employees suggesting internal colleagues' names to train them on a particular subject/topic. And you will also find huge enthusiasm from internal trainers to conduct the program.
I tried this very successfully. I have been able to identify over 160 internal trainers and over 200 training programs in one year from internal trainers itself. The only program we organize from outside is the "Train the Trainer" program at the beginning of the calendar year.
Out of the 160 internal trainers, I found 23 of them were from the sales department. Of the 200 training modules, I found that over 30 were for sales personnel. And quite a few modules were from the production and operations team for salespeople.
Just imagine, when you build 200 internal modules on various operating and practical topics, the credibility of HR goes high since the engagement level of HR with others also goes up.
Cheers
