Hi,
I did a presentation on this topic, and there are 9 major issues related to manpower training. They are:
1) Aligning training with business strategy: Aligning training activities with business strategy has been a goal of most training units for a long time. This is because organizations have begun to realize that training is a tool not only for improving job performance but also for creating organization-wide adaptability.
2) Changing demographics: Most demographic shifts affect businesses nowadays. Principle among these demographic shifts are:
- Increased ethnic and cultural diversity
- Differing generational values
- Significant fluctuations in generational birth rates
- Aging of the population (baby boomers)
3) Knowledge workers: It is predicted that there will be a shortage of labor in areas requiring advanced or specialized knowledge and skills. Companies are now trying to find ways to maintain the competency levels of existing employees and provide appropriate competencies to new employees.
4) Training as continuous improvement: Effective training is a continuous performance improvement process. Training does not start and stop with each program. The training function in organizations continuously searches for performance improvement opportunities.
5) Quality: High-quality products and services are necessary to stay in business in today's competitive markets and thus have a high priority for most businesses. Once a company decides to ensure quality measures, it is prepared to engage in a substantial amount of training.
6) Legal issues: Equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, sexual harassment, and related legislation have placed legal requirements on businesses that affect how training is managed. Some of the important legal issues are:
- Equity
- Required training
- Liability for injury or illness
- Confidentiality
- Copyrighted materials
7) Job analysis as an indicator: An effective job analysis should be done to find deficiencies in employees' knowledge and skills so that these gaps are filled. Therefore, job descriptions and job specifications will help indicate strengths and weaknesses.
8) Trainer training: For training programs to be more efficient, it is important that the trainers themselves have adequate and specialized training.
9) Technology: The methods and techniques used by trainers should promote active participation of trainees in the learning process so that they grasp and assimilate the knowledge and information gained through various methods and techniques.

Some of the following elements, which I feel are critical areas where we are still able to meet expectations:
A. A commitment to change is required for effective skill development.
B. Emotional appraisals should be discouraged.
C. Labeling of individuals should also be discouraged.
