APA Style # 6 is the style sheet to be used for all written papers in this course.  

Note: There is an excellent guide online called Human Capital: A Guide for Assessing Strategic Training and Development Efforts in the Federal Government published by the United States General Accounting Office. Although this relates to the government and not the private sector, it contains excellent information that can be applied anywhere.

Milestones: Project Phases—In Detail

Part 1: Select an Organization to Be Studied

There are a number of ways in which an organization can be selected. One option is to look outside your organization for companies that would be interested in participating in the project. Another is to volunteer your own organization, or if you are not currently employed, use a church, school, club, or other organization.

Once your organization has been selected, you will need to learn a great deal about it. It is essential for you to understand the organization’s business, goals, objectives, and mission in order to complete this project successfully.

Part 2: Conduct a Needs Assessment

Training and development processes begin with a needs assessment. Given the economic pressures that businesses face today, it is imperative that those needs be connected to specific organizational performance issues. There are three different forms of analysis you will need to complete.

  1. Organizational analysis involves determining the appropriateness of training given the organization’s business strategy, its resources available for training, and support by managers and peers for training activities.
  2. Person analysis involves (1) determining whether performance deficiencies result from a lack of knowledge, skill, or ability (a training issue) or from a motivational or work-design problem; (2) identifying who needs training; and (3) determining employees’ readiness for training.
  3. Task analysis identifies the important tasks and knowledge, skill, and behaviors that need to be emphasized in training for employees to complete their tasks.

Hints for a Successful Needs Assessment

As you conduct your needs assessment, you may want to consider four potential sources of information that may help you in your analysis. Information such as employee turnover analysis, incident reports, long-range production goals, employee satisfaction studies, and physical plant layout can tell us a lot. Examples of other documents you may wish to consider include the following.

  • Business documents: Key business documents can be used to determine areas of poor performance and developmental needs. Such documents may include
    1. unit productivity reports;
    2. customer satisfaction surveys;
    3. communication survey reports; and
    4. competitive analysis reports.

I had to do major editing to the paper as there seemed to have lots of fluff in it. Nothing against the writer, I just know how the professor is and she will call it fluff. Tell the writer that overall good job done. Let's see what the grade will be. I will keep you posted. On to the next paper.
