Training Program

In planning for a training program, we need to consider the cost of training; and the benefits of training. Far too often training is overlooked amid the pressures of performance throughout other areas in the enterprise. Many managers seem incapable of acting on training based on its real merits. Employees will not perform to their capacity unless they are properly trained. The costs versus benefits of training are all about a clear interpretation of the overall enterprise plan. The critical question is “If I do not spend x $’s on training, what else will I spend it on?

Smaller organizations

Another issue relevant to the preparation of performance schemes is organizational size. Small companies tend to be less hierarchical than larger organizations, with decision making being dependent upon the individual judgment of owner mangers. Staffing is influenced by individual likes rather than employee capability. Smaller organizations, on the other hand, tend to be less bureaucratic, more profit oriented and faster in decision making.
