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 peoples 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.
4
Do Organizations Need
Training
 The answer is YES
 However, we must
know the purpose and
functions of training
before we can use it.
5
The Gap Concept
Performance/
Results
Time
Expected Curve
Actual Curve
Gap
In training terms this means we need to
develop programs to fill the Gap
1,000 Cars
800 Cars
200 Cars
6
Training Needs
The reasons for not
making the 1,000
cars:
 Not enough resources
 Poor machines
 Poor staff skills
As training experts we
must analyze the
situation to determine if:
 Expected result too high
 Target achievable
 Is training the only way to
make it happen
 Are there other factors.
7
Exercise 1
 Imagine you are the managing director of a
full service restaurant. One day you receive a
complaint letter from a guest reporting s/he
was not satisfied with the follow up
regarding their criticism of being
overcharged in one of your
restaurants.
 Why was the complaint made?
 Is there a training need?
8
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
9
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
10
Benefits of Training
 Most training is
targeted to ensure
trainees learn
something they
apply to their job.
11
What is Training?
 Training is a systematic process through
which an organizations human resources
gain knowledge and develop skills by
instruction and practical activities that result
in improved corporate performance.
12
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.
13
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
14
Exercise 2
Rank ASK by difficulty to develop in people
 Attitude
 Skills
 Knowledge
Easy
Moderately difficult
Most difficult
15
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.
16
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
19
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.
20
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.
21
Response to exercise 3
 Accidents report
 Sick leave report
 Employee compensation
statistics
 Product quality control
report
 Wastage report
 Efficiency report
 Machinery out-of-order
report
 Staff discipline report
 Staff enquiries &
complaints
 Guests complaints
 Refusal of orders made
 Quality of product report
 Market needs & trends
 Demographic data &
background of employees
22
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.
23
Training Calendar Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
Attitude
Train the trainer
Job competency
Sales techniques
Telephone manner

Training Area Month in the year
24
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.
25
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?
26
4) Designing the
Training Program(s)
1. Program duration
2. Program structure
3. Instruction methods
4. Trainers qualification
5. Nature of trainees
6. Support resources 
materials, OHP,
classroom
7. Training location &
environment
8. Criteria & methods
for assessing
participant learning
and achievement
9. Criteria & methods
for evaluating the
program
27
5) Selecting Instructional Methods
Note: This is the most important step
On-the job-training (OJT)
 learn while youre 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.
28
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
29
Response to exercise 4
Remember your training
theme was to change the
individuals attitudes
Employ exercises that
trainees can:
 Participate in
 React to
 Provide feedback in
 Receive inspiration to
move on
Suitable training methods
you might have listed:
 Role-play
 Games
 Simulation exercises
 Discussion/debate formats
 Experiential exercises
 Self evaluation (e.g. video
tape trainees performance
& let them evaluate their
own behaviors).
30
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?
31
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
32
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
33
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.
