Dear Jayalatheesh,
We are currently navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a general reduction in economic activity. This decline in economic activity has resulted in a slump in demand, leaving companies with no choice but to cut backend costs.
Therefore, for any training programs you conduct, whether they are general or specific to a department, please ensure that the primary goal is cost reduction.
Many companies rely on bank loans to sustain their operations. In this context, every Head of Department (HOD), including HR, must take responsibility for demonstrating a return on investment (ROI) for the allocated funds. In your case, it is essential to show the ROI of the training program. Whoever is in charge of conducting the training, whether an external or internal facilitator, should understand how to measure and when to measure the ROI.
Previously, I provided a detailed response on employee training. You can refer to it by clicking the following link:

Your inquiry was about a training topic applicable to all employees. However, I want to emphasize that conducting the training program is a means to an end, not the end itself. Success lies in focusing on the end goals. Please take note of this.
Thank you,
Dinesh Divekar
