Hi :
I hope the various suggestions made by all the members would help you to make a headstart at least.
Just to add - while it is one of the most critical challenges for a T&D group to motivate employees to attend/benefit by the programs organised. It is very important to firstly understand the root causeof low attendance.
There could be various reasons apart from attitudinal problems, possibly the timing/duration/topic etc.etc.
I hope you do have formal mechanisms to identify the training needs - through appraisal data etc.
The question is how do you get to the root cause. You may speak to the supervisor of the attendees, the attendees etc. You can plan the training programs in consultation with the group heads etc. just to ensure the programs do not coincide with any critical project deadlines etc.
Also you may introduce special incentive points for attending the trainings and also some negative points for not attending. This will help in invoking better response for the programs.
Hope the above inputs are helpful.
