Identifying training needs

The financial benefits of training are sometimes hard to demonstrate, and often the

training budget is the first to be reduced instead when spending is under pressure. For

34 this reason, and given that the need for any corporate spending to provide maximum

35 value for money, it is important for the differences between individuals must to be

36 taken into account when considering training requirements. This makes for far more

37 effective training than a programme is based solely on generalisations about staff. After

38 all this, our abilities differ, and variations in previous experience can also play a

39 significant role in learning. Identifying training needs and their capabilities on an

40 individual basis is often carried out in appraisal interviews. In those workplaces where

41 each employee's productivity is measured, such records may be considered during the

42 appraisal, allowing for the possibility that inadequate training can be identified as if the

43 reason for low productivity. Training requirements are also evaluated in such

44 assessment centres, and in which groups of staff are observed while taking part in job

45 simulation activities. Although these are often used to assess potential for promotion, but

can also show employees' training needs within their current job.
