When evaluating whether a training program aligns with short-term performance goals and contributes to immediate company results, it’s essential to focus on development and performance metrics. This can be achieved by setting specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or developing a structured development plan with clear goals. Additionally, conducting skill assessments can help determine the current skill set of employees, enabling tailored recommendations for relevant training programs. Ultimately, the training program should be aligned with the individual employee’s plan, ensuring that it directly addresses their development needs and contributes to achieving both short-term performance targets and immediate company objectives.
