Document Summary

Decisions to be made: what method of training to use, how much time to allot for the training, how many trainees to train at the same time, whether training is conducted on company time or overtime, whether training is voluntary or mandatory, whether to use an on site or off site location for training. Organizational/ environmental constraints: budgets are generally limited, the strategic planning process, when completed, provides a rationale for determining who gets how much of what kind of training, having the top managers in hr develop their own mission and goals for the hr area is a good idea, the technological sophistication of the organization affects which type of training can be offered, decisions about training priorities must also follow the law, a certain portion of training budgets must go toward mandated training, taking money away from other possible training.
