      In an effort to help decision makers invest wisely in employee development, Sarah's crafted an enlightening conversation, and provided a FREE interactive tool and editable training needs report template to determine if training is indeed the right solution. Within five minutes, you can carry out a preliminary training needs analysis, grounded in instructional design research.

      Often, training is seen as the ultimate fix-it solution but we're here to shed light on the reality. Factors such as skill deficits, motivational issues, environmental dimensions, scarce resources, role ambiguity, and mismatched roles - they all play a significant role in an employee's performance. And guess what? They all call for different solutions. So, let's replace the misconception with clarity. We're here to provide practical tips on identifying performance gaps, observing on-the-job behaviors, and even leveraging past performance records. So gear up, it's time to think beyond the training box and make informed decisions about the interventions your team truly needs. Get ready for a paradigm shift!
