YOUR OBJECTIVES
Following this presentation you should be able to
complete the following objectives:
1. Describe why training is important and distinguish
amongst training, education and development
2. Define the ASK concept, and comment upon the
relative difficulty in developing people’s attitudes, skills
and knowledge
3. List the nine steps in the training process and be able to
explain each step with reference to hospitality examples
4. Develop an appropriate training lesson plan.
40
 DO ORGANIZATIONS NEED
TRAINING
The answer is “YES”
However, we must know the purpose
and functions of training before we can
use it.

41
THE GAP CONCEPT

Expected Curve

1,000 Cars Gap

Performance/ 200 Cars
Actual Curve
Results
800 Cars

Time
In training terms this means we need to
develop programs to fill the Gap
42
3 REASONS TO CONSIDER
CONDUCTING
AN INTERNAL NEEDS ANALYSIS
1. Employee obsolescence/out-dated –
 Technical advancements, cultural changes, new systems, computerization

2. Career plateaus
 Need for education and training programs

3. Employee Turnover
 Development plan for new employees

43
IMPORTANCE OF
TRAINING
Maintains qualified products / services
Achieves high service standards
Provides information for new comers
Refreshes memory of old employees
Achieves learning about new things; technology, products /
service delivery
Reduces mistakes - minimizing costs
Opportunity for staff to feedback / suggest improvements
Improves communication & relationships - better teamwork
44
 BENEFITS OF TRAINING

Most training is targeted to ensure

trainees “learn” something they
apply to their job.

45
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
TRAINING, EDUCATION &
DEVELOPMENT
Training is short term, task oriented and targeted on
achieving a change of attitude, skills and knowledge
in a specific area. It is usually job related.
Education is a lifetime investment. It tends to be
initiated by a person in the area of his/her interest
Development is a long term investment in human
resources.

46
THE ASK CONCEPT

If we follow the GAP concept, training is

simply a means to use activities to fill the
gaps of performance between the actual
results and the expected results.
This GAP can be separated into 3 main
themes
1. Attitude
2. Skills
3. Knowledge
47
EXERCISE 2
Rank ASK by difficulty to develop in people

Attitude
•Easy
Skills
Knowledge •Moderately difficult
•Most difficult

48
FIVE PRINCIPLES OF
LEARNING
Participation: involve trainees, learn by doing
Repetition: repeat ideas & concepts to help people
learn
Relevance: learn better when material is meaningful and
related
Transference: to real world using simulations
Feedback: ask for it and adjust training methods
to audience.

49
A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH
TO TRAINING
Key Concepts in Preparing a Training Plan
Before you train and develop people identify what:
 They must know - before they can perform job
 They should know - to improve performance
 Would be nice for them to know – but not necessary to perform duties.

NINE STEPS IN THE
TRAINING PROCESS
1. Assessing training needs
2. Preparing training plan
3. Specifying training objectives
4. Designing the training program(s)
5. Selecting the instructional methods
6. Completing the training plan
7. Implementing the training program
8. Evaluating the training
9. Planning future training
52
 1) ASSESSING TRAINING
NEEDS
Conduct a training needs analysis by either one, or both, of the following

External approach (company, guests, society)

Internal approach – using a staff opinion survey.

53
EXERCISE 3
Imagine you are the manager of a factory with 500 workers making
ice cream for export to Europe.
What information and evidence do you need before you can say the
employees need training?
Try to list 5 ideas.

54
RESPONSE TO EXERCISE 3
Accidents report Staff discipline report
Sick leave report Staff enquiries & complaints
Employee compensation Guests complaints
statistics
Refusal of orders made
Product quality control report
Quality of product report
Wastage report
Market needs & trends
Efficiency report
Demographic data &
Machinery out-of-order background of employees
report

55
 2) PREPARING TRAINING
PLAN
Consider whether to design a long (5-10 years), medium (3-5 years)
or short (1 year) term plan.
Ask your self “What are we going to achieve in the time period?”
Use a holistic approach by using a calendar for inputting your
training activities.

56
 TRAINING CALENDAR
EXAMPLE
Training Area Month in the year
1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
Attitude
Train the trainer
Job competency
Sales techniques
Telephone manner
…
57
INDIVIDUAL PLANS
For individual personalized training, we must assess the trainees’
weakness and strengths first before setting up appropriate programs.
Training areas maybe tailor-made.
 Trainee should receive an individual timetable for self progress.

58
3) SPECIFYING TRAINING
OBJECTIVES
Training Objectives must be specific & measurable.
Why? Very difficult to measure effectiveness after
course is finished.
 What should trainees be able to accomplish after participating
in the training program?
 What is the desired level of such accomplishment, according
to industry or organizational standards?
 Do you want to develop attitudes, skills, knowledge or some
combination of these three?

59
4) DESIGNING THE
TRAINING PROGRAM(S)

1. Program duration 7. Training location &

environment
2. Program structure
8. Criteria & methods
3. Instruction methods
for assessing
4. Trainers qualification participant learning
and achievement
5. Nature of trainees
9. Criteria & methods
6. Support resources –
for evaluating the
materials, OHP,
program
classroom
60
5) SELECTING INSTRUCTIONAL
METHODS
NOTE: THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP

On-the job-training (OJT)

 learn while you’re working
Off -the job-training
 In house, training or classroom
 External, consultancies or attending external classes
 Independent bodies, such as government talks
 Distance learning, from books or notes
 Computer-assisted learning
 Interactive-video training
 Video conferencing, same as classroom except teachers and students
are in different locations.

61
 EXERCISE 4
Imagine you are the training manger of a hotel that will
open next year. Your GM asks you to develop a training
program that aims to boost the team spirit of the newly
formed Executive Committee Members.
Your GM suggests you organize a two-day course in a
resort location from 9 to 5 for both days.
Your task is to suggest 3 training methods that suit the
training theme described above.
Hint: this is attitude, not skills nor knowledge training
62
RESPONSE TO EXERCISE 4
Remember your training Suitable training methods
theme was to change the you might have listed:
individuals attitudes
Role-play
Employ exercises that
trainees can: Games
Participate in Simulation exercises
React to Discussion/debate formats
Provide feedback in Experiential exercises
Receive inspiration to move Self evaluation (e.g. video
on tape trainees performance &
let them evaluate their own
behaviors).

63
6) COMPLETING THE
TRAINING PLAN
Target group – assess your audience
Topic – task, skill or attitude ingredient
Method – direct (one way communication) or
indirect (discussion, games, experimental
exercises…). Important as evaluation of trainees
usually lies on the perception on what they did in the
training session
Time – length, period, breaks important to consider
Location – away from the office?
64
7) IMPLEMENTING THE
TRAINING
PROGRAM
Besides trainers qualifications and experience:
Participant selection
Group comfort - physical & psychological
Trainer enthusiasm & skills
Effective communication
Feedback mechanism
The need to learn new training skills
Preparation by trainers
65
8) EVALUATING THE TRAINING

Three Levels of Evaluation

1. Immediate Feedback
 Survey or interview directly after training

2. Post-Training Test
 Trainee applying learned tasks in workplace?

3. Post-Training Appraisals
 Conducted by immediate supervisors of trainees

66
 9) PLANNING FUTURE
TRAINING
Last step in the training process
After taking all evaluated comments, trainers should modify the
programs to keep good things and make suggested improvements
 Remember, even with the same topic for different trainees, trainers should address
many parts of the training process again and consider new approaches.
