Organizational Psychology

Suppose Pat decided to hire you as a consultant to help assess the training intervention and provide suggestions for improvements. Consider
the following questions to help you identify some of the training-related problems in this case.

1. What useful information could have been revealed through a needs analysis in this situation? How might this situation have improved with a
   proper needs analysis before the training was started? Be sure to consider all levels of needs analysis.
2. What was the training method used? What learning principles were used in the training?
3. Considering factors such as the training methods, training principles, and the pre- and post-training environments for staff, what
   recommendations would you make for improving the training?
4. Briefly describe the transfer-of-training problem in this case. What changes, if any, would you make to the training method to avoid this
   problem?
5. What other changes would you suggest that could increase the transfer of training in this case?
