How to Create an Employee

Training Plan?
 Using a SWOT analysis, identify the strengths and weaknesses of
your employees’ performance and their ability to meet company
goals.
 With the help of team heads, identify the staff members who are
competent and in need of skill development. Use an org chart to
easily categorize them.
 Find the ideal training resources such as textbooks, software, online
courses, etc. as needed.
 Create a knowledge map including links to different training
resources. You can export this as an SVG or PNG and embed it in
your company intranet or site for everyone to access.
 Assign trainers (can be experienced senior staff) to guide and
encourage the trainees, and answer their questions.
 Create a training schedule taking into consideration the time the
trainees will have to take away from their work.
 Follow up on your trainees by getting feedback to understand the
effectiveness of the training program. Adjust your training plan as
required.
