Hi all,
I have recently joined a leather manufacturing company. They have a workforce of six thousand employees. My boss wants to increase their productivity and profitability. He has tasked me with creating a comprehensive training plan. The challenge lies in the fact that the majority of employees are older and have been with the company for almost a decade. Can you please suggest an effective course of action for training and development? I eagerly await your positive response.
Cheers

Seems that you have two possibilities. One would be to do it yourself or to hire an external agency to do it. To be very honest with you, organizational change does not come from training alone. The training has to be part of a larger change management strategy. You see, within an organization, people are related to each other like the strings in a net. If you change one element, everyone else will pull it back to where it was before. You need to change individuals but more than that, you have to change the relationship between them. Such change is best done when training is part of change in a larger picture.
So in short, I would recommend that you sit with your CEO and ask what the aims of the change he sees are. Put them down. Once you have a few parameters, then you can work on creating a change management strategy. This could include changing your product too.
I would strongly advise you against calling in outside agencies unless you know what you want to do. In most modern companies today, employees have become jaded and many training programs are not treated with seriousness because they know that the training has no relevance to their jobs or to their future careers.

Dear 2fab,
Mathai Fenn is absolutely correct in what they say. You can increase productivity in so many different ways, but you need to find out what needs to be fixed first! Being old does not mean unable to change ways (old dog, new tricks, etc.) but there has to be something in it for them to want to do it. Speeding up a production line will not do it!

I agree with Mathai, before you get in touch with any training vendor, speak to your boss, do a TNI and understand the exact need of the individuals and the organisation.

I 100% agree with Mathai Fenn's sincere, harmonious, and rational advice and approach. That person gave you a really simple and sincere opinion while, sorry to say, the rest of the participants merely advertised themselves, just shining their business.
No, sir, don't spend your company's valuable capital unless and until you understand what actually needs to be done and how to do it. Understand your business strategy, your business needs, people's behaviors towards work, your working conditions, your vision and mission, and all that. Then, hire the consultant that is best for your budget and needs because of TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS.

Dear all,
I had a discussion with my boss; his main areas of concern are production planning, quality control, R&D, and productivity. Please shed some light on these aspects and advise on how to initiate training for these issues.
I am eagerly waiting for your valuable suggestions.
