Who is responsible for planning and recommending training?
The responsibility for training is shared by the employee, the supervisor, agency management, and the agency training and development office. The basic responsibility rests with the employee. Employees are responsible for being qualified, and remaining qualified, for their jobs. They are also responsible for keeping their knowledge, skills, and abilities current. Supervisors and managers also have a responsibility. They are responsible for workforce planning; determining if employees’ current skill sets meet current and anticipated organizational needs; identifying their employees’ learning and development needs; budgeting to meet those needs; assigning employees to training; and evaluating the results or outcomes of the training.
