Whether the request is submitted via email, in a telephone conversation or even in passing, training requests come in all shapes and forms \u2014 often without any evidence of the rationale behind them.\r\n\r\nWithout a questionnaire for a training request, this process can lead the training department down a rabbit hole of unprioritized work, miscommunication, confusion and misalignment. Remember that the purpose of training is to drive a behavioral change that supports the company\u2019s objectives, and effective training programs are aligned to business strategy<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis training request form template dispels the misconception that the training department is like a restaurant, where the servers (the training consultants) are order-takers. Being strategically aligned to the business enables training consultants to partner with their clients (internal or external) to clarify the need for training and to emphasize that the outcome of the training should contribute to the prioritized company goals.\r\n\r\nCreate your own version of this form, and save it in a shared folder, accessible by the business unit leaders you work with. Set up automated notifications of completed training request forms so you can review them. Displaying each completed form as a line item on a single page will improve efficiency and centralize the training requests in a single location. This way, you can track the information and provide visibility in order to prioritize training projects.","full_width":false,"content_band":[{"acf_fc_layout":"social_callout","blockquote":"Whether in a telephone conversation or even in passing, training requests come in all shapes and forms."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_area","wysiwyg":"Training Request Form: What to Include<\/strong>\r\n
