TRAINING SOLUTION STATEMENTS (TSS) CAN BE USED IN MEASURING THE IMPACT OF TRAINING PROGRAMS ON ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS. A GENERAL EXPLANANTION OF TSS IS PROVIDED.

Abstract

BECAUSE ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS RARELY HAVE TRAINING SOLUTIONS, TRAINING IS MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN IT IS ONLY ONE ELEMENT IN A TOTAL IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY. TSS CAN BE USED BY TRAINERS TO DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS. SOME OF THE GENERAL FEATURES OF TSS INCLUDE INPUT, THE RESULT OF AN ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS; OUTPUT OR THE TRAINING PLAN; NONTRAINING PLANS; CRITERIA USED TO MEASURE ORGANIZATIONAL IMPROVEMENT; AND SCHEDULES FOR IMPLEMENTING BEHAVIORAL AND NONBEHAVIORAL COMPONENTS OF THE TOTAL ORGANIZATIONAL SOLUTION. SUCH AN APPROACH ALLOWS THE ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGE OF ENABLING EFFECTIVE MEASUREMENT OF HOW THE TRAINING PROGRAMS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO RESOLUTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS. BY USING TSS, TRAINERS CAN ASSUME AN IMPORTANT MANAGEMENT ROLE IN DEVELOPING REALISTIC AND EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS TO ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS. BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH ORGANIZATION MANAGERS, TRAINERS CAN HELP DEVELOP CONSENSUS AND MANAGEMENT UNITY IN ADDRESSING ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS. IN THIS WAY TRAINERS CAN BECOME IMPORTANT AGENTS IN CHANGE MANAGEMENT. NO REFERENCES ARE INCLUDED.
